On my recent vacation to Ocean City, I went for an early morning walk on the beach. I found a couple of these crab shells washed up on the shoreline during my quick jaunt.
I also found a live hermit crab later in the week that my nephews adopted and took home from the shoreline.
There is nothing like finding something great when you are at the beach. In addition, my nephews found a huge crab shell while they were playing on the beach after breakfast with my dad.
It might be the ocean air, but Mack and Manco has the best pizza! There is nothing like stopping for a saucy slice when you are cruising down the boardwalk.
On of the great things about family resort towns is that there are traditions that never change. Some thing never change.
My mom and I headed to Brown's donuts on the northern end of the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ around 7am to get donuts.
When we got there at 7:05, this line had already formed waiting for Browns to open.
We talked to the people in line and basically just enjoyed the weather.
It was worth the wait! There is nothing like eating a Brown's chocolate glazed donut.
During my vacation, the weather was hot. As a matter of fact, it was the hottest day of the summer in Ocean City when I was there.
Some brave, or maybe crazy, people were at the beach hunkered down with their umbrellas. I thought with the parasailer, it was a pretty cool (in the vibe sense) scene.
I pulled over my bike and snapped a pic. You have to love compact digital cameras.
There is something very peaceful about the ocean in the morning. I love how everything seems to have taken on a blue cast from the morning light.
This photo is of the row boat at the life guard station. They don't have it at all the stations, but they are sprinkled down the beach at different points.
They keep the beaches in Ocean City very well groomed, so it makes the early morning adventures really enjoyable because you don't see any liter on the beach from the day before.
I took this pic when I was on vacation in Ocean City, NJ. I got up early on my last day and wandered down to the beach to take some pics
This one of the lifeguard stand makes me want to go back.
