I know I have blogged about Ocean City, Maryland already although that was last year. This year most of the same people went back down the beach with me, however there were some new ones too. We still had Edward, Phillis, and Chazmanian, but we added three to our wolf pack: J-bird (J. Darvill), Shakespeare (W. Hutton- Chazmanian’s little brother who came over for three weeks), and Garchief (A. Garcev). This time was also pretty different from last year, mainly due to the time of our recent trip.
This trip helped me see that Ocean City can be seen differently and can accommodate many different types of people. Our first trip together last year on the fourth of July was much more for the party atmosphere than anything else really. However, this year was much different.
This year we could not get down the beach together until last weekend which was August 8th. The timing was very important for why the trip was different than usual. And by different in no way do I mean not fun. We were only one week away from preseason and getting ready to play, so any kind of partying was out of the question. So, in some ways this trip was more relaxing than others. We spent most of the day on the beach playing with a soccer ball until we got so hot we had to get in the water to cool off. Then we would lay on our towels and dry off until we repeated this process over and over many times. After a long day on the beach, we headed back home to eat then take the jetskis out to tube in the bay. This was how we spent our couple of days in Ocean City. The nights were very relaxed for once, which was nice. We spent our nights eating out at dinner, getting ice cream, playing putt putt, or watching movies.
Although our time spent in Ocean City was much shorter than we would have liked and even though we were nowhere near ready to leave, we still had a great time like usual and now it is time for preseason to start up again.
