Gwynn’s Island (Part 1)

We made a trip to Gwynn’s Island once again. This time, though, we had two children in tow which is more than twice as hard as just taking one.

We didn’t stay on Gwynn street, but had to get a picture of the sign.

This is the house where we stayed. It is on the Eastern part of the island facing the Chesapeake Bay. It’s similar to staying on a regular beach – lots of sand, waves, seagulls, etc.

Here is Gwynn’s island from a satellite. We stayed by the arrow. The bridge to get onto the island is on the Southwest corner.

The name of the house we stayed at was Sandbar. More people should name their houses.

There was a deck on the second floor, but we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Luke would have jumped off if given the chance.

There were several Adirondack chairs in the back (front?) of the house.

There was a screened in porch where we ate and hung out. It only took Luke a day or so to figure out how to open the door to go run to the beach, therefore we had it locked pretty much the whole time.

Many of the houses on this part of the island have a small pier separating the parcels of land. It goes out about 50 feet but is quick slick once you get to where the water splashes onto the boards.

Gwynn enjoyed the sand a lot more than she did 2 years ago.

This was Luke’s first time at a real beach. He took a moment to get settled but quickly started running around and having fun.

The sun rises over the bay which is nice for those that like to get up at the crack of dawn.
