Ocean City is a very special place for Marylanders. Nothing like a walk on the pier, the boardwalk, and the sand. In this case, we had a hurricane some miles out. Made for humid, hot times, but worth seeing the resort a different way.
Jenny and Miquel took Alejandra and Synara to Ocean City, Maryland. Jenny was the photographer for the day. She did another wonderful job!
It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day to go to Ocean City…the skies were blue, perfect day to escape to the Beach. Laura had wisely asked Alejandra which places did she want to see most. It’s a good thing to know since sometime you can’t fit all the places you...
I was taken by surprise when I saw the top 20 beaches listed today! Our Ocean City listed as number 2! (This list is based on attendance and population.) 1. Jacksonville Beach, Fla. 2. Ocean City, Md 3. Miami, Fla 4. Myrtle Beach, S.C 5. Belmar, N.J. 6. Laguna Beach,...
Ocean City 2011, that is. This being John’s third visit to Maryland, it seemed way overdue to take him to Ocean City.
Our hotel didn’t allow henna tattoos because they claimed that the ink makes a hard to clean stain on their interior. With that in mind, the girls decided on the last day they would get a tattoo. Laura’s…. Jenny got one with Miquel’s name… and even Donna got one! All...
The night gave us winds, crashing waves, thunder, lightning, and a LOT of rain. The morning was…calm and lovely. No sunrise as I was hoping for, but just lovely. But the BEST surprise for me, was to see DOLPHINS! Then the clouds parted, to reveal that yes, the sun had...
I was sitting in the hotel room talking to John when my cell phone rang. It was the girls saying, “You need to hurry to the pier! The waves are hitting it!” The pier at Ocean City is reserved for amusement rides close to the boardwalk, and further into the...
Snack = Wockenfuss? When someone says snack to you, what do you think of? I don’t know, but when Donna said she was stepping out of the hotel to get a snack, she came back with the most amazing confections like these from Wockenfuss… Snacks!
Hurricane Bill In spite of the storms that have hit Maryland and a hurricane off the coast, we have had great weather so far. Today it became obvious that the two fronts, the storms and the hurricane, are soon to descend on us. The sky looking to the east. Storm...
I woke up, looked at the clock, noted the time was precisely for sunrise, dashed out of the bed grabbing my camera at the same time, and managed to photograph a nice sunrise.
After some rest in the afternoon, we went bayside for the sunset. There were too many clouds for a real sunset! However, it was real pretty anyway. Then it was back on the boardwalk for the night. We left Jasper and Dante at home, but someone brought their pet iguana!...
Today was our first full day at Ocean City. After watching the sunrise, we went out for breakfast. As it turns out, my favorite place in the world (The Dough Roller) to eat breakfast, Donna likes too! And now Laura is a convert too! The pancakes are simply the BEST....
We got a wonderful invitation from Jenny’s mom and dad to go to Ocean City. We left today. Traffic on the Bay Bridge was strangely busy. But once through we were here in no time! The view straight out from our hotel. Our hotel is very close to the Kite...
In the past, I have taken a lot of teasing from my friends who spent summers going east with their families to Ocean City, and my family always went west to visit family in the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia. So when I finally got to experience Ocean City, they...
