Our Ocean City Beach Adventure

August 31, 2009 · 5 comments

This has been an amaz­ing few days. We left on my (cough cough) 42nd birth­day to head to Ocean City, MD for 4 days. It is our last trip to the beach before the school year starts in 1 week.

As I write this, I am sit­ting on my bal­cony in the hotel, watch­ing the waves crash against the shore and lis­ten­ing to the ocean. The moon is almost full and lights up the sky just enough to see all the clouds. The pool just closed so I no longer hear the scream­ing kids and par­ents and the lifeguard’s con­stant whis­tle blow­ing at the kids. It is so peaceful.

I never real­ized how much I loved the ocean until this past Decem­ber. Things were crazy and Jason and I headed to Miami Beach for a quick trip (busi­ness for him and plea­sure for me). As soon as I saw the beach, it was like all my wor­ries were lifted from my shoul­ders. That is how I feel when­ever I go to the beach. It’s my escape place and where I go in my head when I need to de-stress.

I’ll upload all my pic­tures and videos when I get back, but here I’ve been whrrling my entire trip, so you can see those here:

The beach looks so different on the East Coast… I've never been. You're wearing jackets tho! It's 112 here in Phoenix today… I'd love to be on that balcony with you!
