Ocean City



We have always talked about taking a day long trip to Ocean City one day and finally yesterday, we did it. At 8 a.m. Sunday morning, McKaila, Amber, Courtney, and I loaded up the car and off we went. 

Off to Ocean City!!

After a close to 3 hour drive, we finally made it to Ocean City! When arriving to Ocean City it was already close to 90 degrees and you could tell people were eager to get to the beach. Traffic was backed up getting into the city and police officers were directing traffic for the many pedestrians walking through the streets to get to the water. 

Excited to get our toes in the sand again!!

We picked a great weekend to go to Ocean City because it was also the same weekend of the OC Air Show! It was something else seeing all these planes flying right in front of us. They literally would be right above the water. It was crazy, but what a show. We weren't expecting something like that, that is for sure.

McKaila had so much fun at the beach. She was excited to get into the water. And after her first time, she just wanted to go back in, but being that the water was still pretty cold, we couldn't keep her in very long. So, we play in the sand for a while, then Daddy would bring her in the ocean again.

After spending a while on the beach, we decided to go back to the car and drive to a place Grandma Nancy told us about, Assateague Island.

The car hadn't even moved yet and McKaila was fast asleep


On Assateague Island there is a beautiful beach, camping, plus much more, but the reason we wanted to head there was because we wanted to see the wild horses roaming around!

After spending some time on the island, we headed back to Ocean City to walk on the boardwalk and get some dinner. We knew that being there, we needed to get some good seafood, so after walking on the boardwalk for awhile, it was off to dinner! We ate at Harrison's Harbor Watch! We all highly recommend it if you are ever in that area. Our table was overlooking the water, so we got to watch all the boats come and go while we were eating dinner!



It was an amazing day at Ocean City and it was kind of sad to see the day end. But, it was great seeing McKaila playing in the sand and enjoying the ocean all for the first time. 
Hope to see you again, Ocean City!
