Calvert Cliffs AKA Shark Tooth Beach

For the Labor day holiday we met up with a few friends (Marco, Stephanie, Phillipe, and Maia Demartin & Jeremiah, Amanda, and Tabitha Udy) we knew when we lived in DC before and headed out to look for shark teeth. We went to Calvert Cliffs in Maryland that is known for it's shark teeth. These are fossilized teeth that are burried in the sand or in the cliffs that if you just look around you can find billions. This trip was unfortunetly not very fruitful, but we did see lots of frogs, toads, turtles, and snakes. Brad was in heaven.
First toad that Brad has caught here.

He is very excited as you can see.

Kim ventures further down the trail. It was a two mile walk to the beach through some beautiful wetlands.
