The rest of our weekend took us to Ocean City, Maryland.
The weather wasn't great
but we made the best of it.
Besides, anytime that I am away from home and don't have to cook
is an awesome time!
It rained on and off all weekend.
These seagulls didn't seem to mind as they played in the rooftop puddles.
Sally didn't mind either..
She still got to put her feet in the sand and feel the cold rush of the salty ocean.
We played on the rainy beach for a while..
it was actually kind of fun ~
Whats a little rain when you are already wet?
We hung out in the candy kitchen,
filling up on sweets like swizzle sticks, chocolate licorice and tangy legos.
Everything is so pretty and colorful..
Like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
And we ate good!
We ate everything from steak and tilapia covered in asiago cheese,
fried clams, steamed shrimp, crab cake sandwiches, to delicious pizza.
I am still feeling the wrath of all of that good eatin!
Check out this cool table at one of the restaurants that we dined in.
We strolled the crowded boardwalk.

Munched on the best french fries in the world.
We rode some rides and roller coasters.
Sally and dad raced go-carts
After an action packed weekend
it was time to say goodbye to the sea.

Now, it's time to finish up all of the back to school details,
get Michelle ready for her trip to Holland,
and get some of these house projects finished.
Mom is starting to stress out!
Hope that you all have a great Wednesday
I am off to work for a while
then it is time to clean this house.
Yuck.

Oh I can't wait! Where did you stay?
What a fun trip to the beach, even with the weather not quite so perfect! I love time near the ocean, peaceful! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
I need a vacation so bad it isn't funny. It looks like you had an awesome time, despite the weather. I agree, just getting away from home is relaxing even with the yucky weather.
Lovely photos
especially the one of Sally
-great picture!
Best of luck with the housework
and good luck to Michelle on her trip to Holland.
I'm like you I had better find those back to school details too!
Have a good week

Rain sounds so wonderful right now. We haven't had it in months. Sounds like a great relaxing time. I am stressed too. First day of school today.
Sounds like a wonderful time with family. I used to live close to this beach and went a couple of times....
Looks like fun! I'm glad you went ahead despite the rain. The picture of your daughter made me smile...you can tell the water was cold just by her body language!
This post brought back so many memories for me, I spent my first 26 summers there :)
Rain or not, it is a wonderful vacation spot and I love your pictures, especially Candy Kitchen and the go-carts!
I love a day at the beach when it is raining and windy and the waves are big. Just not everyday of a vacation :-)
Great photos!
What a fun filled weekend, Leslie! You really packed a lot in! The pictures really tell the story! The beach looks so inviting, rain and all, and I think eating out is one of my favorite things to do on vacation!!
Sounds like you came home to plenty to do. I guess it's that time of year!
XO,

I'd muck around the beach when it was a little wet out - if only because it would be less crowded. lol (HATE crowded beaches.) Great photos again!!!!!!
Sounds like a great weekend Leslie! We will be going to the beach this weekend too. It's going to be hot in Holland. The sea with the wind and the water is then the best place to be.
Have a lovely weekend!

What a fun time! Enjoy the last few days of summer. :o)
if I were near a beach, no rain would stop me. Not even a storm. I just have to swim if I see water...I'm like those seagulls, I guess!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend this weekend x
