After a few days of rainy weather, we finally hit the beach! The weather cleared up, which has been a nice surprise.
Yesterday, we hit Ocean City, Maryland. We had intended to take the ferry from Lewes to Cape May, NJ, but the ferry ride itself is 1:20 hours each way, and we didn’t think the kids would enjoy that much time on the boat. Instead, we all took a drive to the Talbot St. Pier for a boat ride on the Assateague Adventure. [Side note: it’s so immature how much I like to say Assateague out loud.]
The excursion is about an 1:15 round trip through the harbor to this little island where kids get look around and even collect stuff with supplied nets. It was ok, overall. After we returned, the rest of our family group left, leaving us Ipes to adventure in Ocean City on our own. Since the weather had turned from overcast to gorgeous, we found some great parking, we spent 2 hours on the Ocean City Boardwalk. Much funnel cake, gyros, and corn dogs was enjoyed by us. The kids got to play on the beach, and we kept my daughter from eating too much of the sand.
Today, we all (except my in-laws) hit Bethany Beach for two hours to relax in the sun, and play time in the water. Unfortunately, the water was friggin’ ice cold. So, we just hung out on the beach.
I brought my PlayStation with me on this trip. I beat my Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune game, and I’ve played other games as well, just for relaxing without guilt. Pretty fun.
Tomorrow, we head home. Sigh.
