Ocean City Boardwalk

While in Maryland we spent some non-water time on the Boardwalk.  The kids did an amazing job walking almost 3 miles on the boardwalk.  We had forgotten Beck's stroller at home in Brooklyn, and I thought for sure we'd have to buy him one, but he kept up pretty well and did a ton of walking.  So much walking in fact, that we had to stop and take a break for some ice cream!

And check out some fun rides!  

Beck sure likes to SIT on rides, but once you get the money out to make it go, he jumps off in a flash!  He's one funny kid.  (I love this picture - he looks like such a big boy with his arm on his knee!)

And we also took some time to relax.

Family Vacation 2008 - Part 1

Since last year's family vacation to Jamaica ended on a stressful note due to Hurricane Dean, we decided to rent a car and take a road trip to Ocean City, Maryland this year.  Gregor has great memories of Ocean City from trips he took with his family when he was a boy (27 years ago) and we went a few years ago sans children, and had a blast.  The beach was amazing and both our hotel and the town had a lot of family fun activities.  Here are some pictures from the first part of our trip.  I'll be posting more soon.

Beck was so excited to ride in a car because it is such a rare occurrence for him, and both kids were asleep within an hour of  our departure - which never happens when we fly!

Our hotel had a fantastic kids pool and we had a great time on the water slides!

Beach pictures coming soon!
