May was a great month for the Gypsy household. We kicked it off by flying to Boston for my uncle's wedding and a jam-packed weekend! We followed in the footsteps of Revolutionary Patriots on Boston's Freedom Trail, munched on fish 'n' chips at the historic Green Dragon Tavern, and took a step back in time at Plimoth Plantation. The next weekend we went all-American for my brother's bachelor blowout: target shooting, go-kart racing, and a few breweries. Finally, we wrapped up the month in Virginia's Northern Neck, boating, beaching, and battling a stingray! I seem to be making and breaking records of the biggest catch pulled in from the creek. Last time it was a puppy drum nearly 18" long. Saturday's stingray took fifteen minutes to pull in and measured over 2 feet from wingtip to wingtip!

Oh, I was just saying that I really want to make sure we make it to the Shenandoah for a weekend this summer! Sounds like a great month ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe Shenandoah is SO gorgeous. I can never decide whether there or the Northern Neck is the prettiest place in Virginia!
DeleteThat definitely was a catch, very fun! Sounds like you have an exciting June planned, especially the camping and tubing. I haven't gone tubing in years... always a good time.
ReplyDeleteWhether for just an hour or all day, there's nothing like tubing to really get IN with nature and just relax!
DeleteWe'll be in Shenandoah in July. Woohoo!

Excellent!!! If you haven't picked a particular place to be, Luray is amazing. You can pop in at some of the caverns along with enjoying the river and the outdoors!
DeleteShenandoah is the one place in the world that I would pick up to and move... right this second! I love to hike, but everytime I go (almost everytime) I see a bear or two!
ReplyDeleteThat stingray is amazing. Did you stingray fishing or catch it accidentally?
We actually saw a bear this past weekend! Not in Shenandoah but in the Blue Ridge near the Charlottesville area. I'll probably blog about it later this week or next! He was a cute little guy, and we were safely in the truck so neither he nor we were bothered in the least. :)
DeleteAs for the stingray, I caught it accidentally. But I wasn't complaining because 'ray tastes like scallops!
Wow that is a massive sting ray! I've never gone fishing before - I don't think I have the patience for it. Sounds like you have a great month of June coming up.
ReplyDeleteThat's the one thing about fishing... it's called "fishing" and not "catching!" You're never guaranteed to get anything. We just sit out on the dock and have a beer or two. Having a line in the water is just a sideshow to the beautiful sunsets and the serenading of the frogs!
