Jun 15, 2009 - Another day, Another beach

Nothing much to share with all of you about our day. We loaded up and made the short drive to Ocean City for a day in the sun. The girls are getting a little braver when it comes to the ocean and actually managed to get out past their knees today. The weather has been great, so far.

Jun 12, 2009 - They're here......

We headed into Philadelpha this morning to take in the sights in and around Independence Park National Historic Site. After checking out the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Franklin court we loaded up in the truck to head to the airport. Our timing was perfect as we pulled up to the curb just after the kids arrived. After hugs and kisses all around we loaded up the luggage and kids. We made a short drive back into Philadelphia for an early dinner at Pat's King of Steaks. Pat's claim to fame is that he is the creator of the Philly...

Both of these 'spots' are located less than 25 miles from our campground so we chose to do a little 're-con' of them today. We first stopped at the Ocean City visitor center for maps, etc. This ended up being unnecessary since the whole town is laid out along the beach and is only about four streets deep. We checked out the beaches and the boardwalk...

May 19, 2008 - By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea

We promised the boys new bikes for their birthday, so we spent a few hours at the local Toys R Us checking out all the cool options. Dylan went immediately for the Tony Hawk model, while Christian took his time deciding on the perfect bike. With new helmets in tow, we headed to the Ocean City Boardwalk for a bike ride. It was windy and cold and pretty much everthing was still closed up, but the boys had a blast anyway. They rode up and down the boards on their new bikes! We even managed to find an open Mack and Manco for a slice of pizza....
