After traveling through Pennsylvania Dutch country, we continued to head East towards the coast. Our next destination was Ocean City, Maryland.
Now I will be the first to admit that when it comes to beaches, we are spoiled in the South with the Gulf, but there is something about the Atlantic Coast and it’s boardwalks that I love. It makes me feel like I have just stepped into a movie or something. I just need The Drifters playing their hit in the background, and the illusion is complete for me. Edie, on the other hand, didn’t even need any Motown. She was moved just by watching the street vendors. When she came upon some techno music outside a body piercing establishment, she let the beat overtake her and spontaneously decided to put on a show.
This video also includes footage of Roark’s first beach experience which explains why their is only a little bit of beach footage. He refused to behave and kept insisting that he wanted to play in the sand. Despite my manhandling and trying to keep him out of it, he somehow managed to get sand all in his diaper or as I always say, in his nooks and crannies, and then decided that he was done for the day. Edie had a blast at the beach like she does most places, but unfortunately for her, it’s still going to be several years in our future before Roarkie is ready for the sand and sun.
