Ocean City

This weekend we went to Ocean City, Maryland for the first time.  We like to sneak one final beach weekend in after Labor Day each year when the crowds have gone down a bit.  We headed down on Friday after work and hit a pizza place in Milford on the way down for Friday Night Pizza Night.  Mommy ordered a pickle and bacon pizza and it was amazing!

On Saturday we got up nice and early and walked right to the beach.  We weren't staying next to the boardwalk, so the beach was pretty quiet (although not as quiet as the picture looks below). We had fun building sand castles, playing in the water, watching the HUGE waves and body surfing.

After the beach, we went to a restaurant for lunch.  Jackson was so tired that he fell asleep before the food even arrived and spent the entire lunch sprawled out across two chairs.  Mommy and daddy had a nice, leisurely lunch, but paid for it later when he did not want to take a real nap.

Later in the afternoon we headed down to the boardwalk and took a  nice long stroll.  We saw the kites,  Jackson had a third nap, he played on the ship playground and then he went on some rides.  After that we went to a Mexican restaurant and had some amazing food.

Deceiving ride - it actually whipped him around every corner!

Sunday we woke up to a wet, overcast day so decided to go to the indoor pool.  By mommy's calculations, Jackson hadn't been in a pool since we were in Killington in February!  And even though the air was crisp, we even went to the heated outdoor pool because it was a lot bigger and also had a beautiful view of the bay.  Next time mommy will bring her camera!
