We spent a long weekend in Ocean City, MD. What a wonderful retreat; we were well away from the touristy stuff, so it was nice to visit but great to have our own quiet space too. We did the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. I'm apparently one in 1,000 people who can fold my tongue up on itself. Had fun making faces in a mirror to try. Had fun going through a mirror maze. Jonathan got to ride a ferris wheel for the first time, and he won a pink dolphin at the chinzy arcade. And, then he and I played mini-golf twice. He's good and really enjoyed it. We spent each day at the beach. Elise warmed right up to the ocean and waves; Jonathan took about 45 mins each day to venture in. Dave spent a day boogie boarding. But by the end of the day, they both were giggling and jumping waves. On the last day, I threw caution to the wind and let them both go nuts in the sand...I'm still finding grains everywhere...everywhere.
