Vacation Week 2

Oops! Can't believe its been almost a month since my last post. Summer is busy like a bee. Meeting up with family, picnics, playing in the water to cool off, these are just some of the things we've been up too. Cant forget to mention our summer home projects. I'm finding out its better to pay someone to do landscaping than to do it myself. The backyard is full of rocks, I can't dig no mo. I'm done! I have plants that will have to go into flower boxes. Hmm, I wonder how I can land on one of their "Surprise an unsuspecting shopper at a home improvement store to give them the backyard of their dreams and then some" show. Not a chance of that happening, but I can fantasize.

And now here's week 2 of our vacay to Ocean City, Maryland. This is so far my favorite summer getaway!


Xavier being the big man that he is insists on pulling his own luggage. Everyone got a kick outta seeing this tiny lil' boy carrying luggage as big as he is. This kid has alot of heart.





Our hotel was on the beach, in front of the hotel was the amusement/water park and beyond that was more water. It was so beautiful, loved the hotel we stayed in!

"Kick Xavier, kick!"

X went down this huge slide! As he was going down I thought maybe for a second the wind might carry him off like Aladdin.


One of X's favorite rides! He would ride his favorites over and over and over and over and....over. His little voice would say as the ride stopped, "Again". We didn't mind. There was one set price to get on the rides for so many hours, so he could go on as many times as his heart desired.


on the Ferris wheel...I was a lil' scared and X enjoyed it as you can see by the excitement on his face.


Daddy and X at the water park. X hated wearing the life jacket, I didn't see the need for it in maybe 2 feet of water might've been a foot and a half. I know things happen and people sue sooo...a tantrum ensued. To divert his mind onto something else. I pulled him on a double inner tube in the pool. We were having fun til a "kill joy" who called himself "lifeguard supervisor" came along. No tubes in the water, this only lead to another tantrum. After that we went to get something to eat, then eventually we went the other side of the water park that had slides.





beautiful night view from our balcony. On the morning we were to leave we spotted 3 dolphins swimming off a distance from shore. We had a great time! The hotel was so clean, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was superb! The hotel had a full length deck overlooking the ocean. We sat there enjoying the breeze and listening to the sounds of the palm leaves and the waves. I give the hotel 5 out of 5 stars! Ty Marc for planning this vacation. Just writing this has me craving crab cakes!


On the drive home, I'm sure hes watching Mickey Mouse.
