The Real OC

Since Maryland was colonized first, Ocean City, MD is the real OC.  Screw those Californians and their posh Orange County.  Give me some Fishers Popcorn and a ticket to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum and I forget all about designer purses and beach-front mansions.  Good thing, since we can't afford them anyway...

We went to OC for a tournament with Jimbo's softball team, Real Chill, and had such a great time.   Having never spent time in Ocean City, I figured it was on par with Myrtle Beach, SC, -- not a complement since Myrtle and I do not see eye-to-eye.

I stand corrected.

Ocean City has a bit of everything and is HUGE compared to Myrtle.  I loved the boardwalk, and the kids couldn't get enough of the Ferris wheel.  --Hilarious sidebar: Jimmy is terrified of heights, so he just about committed suicide on the ride.  It's hard to find anything that scares Mr. Macho, so I quite enjoyed watching him squirm. --  Bruce and Tracy even came on Saturday to help show me around the town and watch one of Jimmy's games. It was great.  Totally worth the money and I can't wait for our next trip.

The kids were WONDERFUL, so I have no complaints there, but I also look forward to a kid-less trip. Maybe next time... wanna babysit?!

At least one is jazzed to be on the Ferris wheel!
 



 

Blood runs deep with these two.

Monkey see, monkey do!
  

Tracy's a bathing beauty until she gets clobbered.
 

Love me some Uncle Bruce.  He's a kid and (obviously) babe magnet.
 

Nothing like an Ashton greeting.
