Goose Bay Marina and Campground, Maryland

Hey y'all!
So we made it to the east coast! We are in Welcome, Maryland at Goose Bay Marina and Campground. It's a decent place with water and power, a well as free toilets and showers. There is a large section of permanent RVers that have all kinds of trailers, RVs, and large motorhomes with a huge variety of porches and decks. There is a large section of "dry-dock" where boats of all shapes and sizes are stored out of the water. We plan on walking through there and checking them all out the next nice day we have.... It had been raining allot lately, but that's November in MD!

Anyway, my best friend passed away two days ago, but he's a Christian so I know I will see him again one day, so we took a trip over to Calvert Cliffs State Park to try and clear our heads.

When I was about 12-14yrs old my school took us out there and I found some shark teeth, so being this close (only about an hour drive from the campground), naturally we had to go check it out! Here's what it looks like.... That's the southern Chesapeake Bay, and while it is salt water, it's just not quite the "Atlantic Ocean" as we are wanting to be at. Ya know.... sandy beach, waves, surfing, boogie boarding.... Ocean!

We used a few of the state-provided sieves and collanders to "mine" for shark teeth and after an hour or so we had all found at least one! Here's a picture of what we found.
The biggest tooth is slightly smaller than a Quarter. We all had allot of fun and enjoyed the 1.8mile hike to the water and then back. It definitely helped clear our heads as we had time to relax and remember.

We will be heading to my parents house next week (an hour or so North of us) for Thanksgiving, then after the first, Cocoa Beach, Florida here we come!
