Ocean City, Maryland

The weather forecast for this weekend was promising: Lots of sunshine and pretty warm. Perfect beach weather!!! On Friday evening, I drove to Ocean City, Maryland to meet Ryan and his friend Rayl there.


Ocean City, sometimes known as
OC, is widely known in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and is a frequent destination for vacationers in that area.


After 3 hours of driving, I arrived shortly after midnight. Ryan was waiting for me and we went to a beach bar across the street. It was pretty cool bar, called "
Fish Tales", with an open padio, a beach section with umbrella-shaded tables, beach seats and also hammocks to hang out.


The next day, Chris, a good friend of Ryan who spent the weekend with his family on Ocean City as well, joined us for a walk at the boardwalk. We strolled down the pretty long boardwalk, enjoying the sun.


On our way back, we decided to have lunch at Fish Tales again. I learned that the bar belongs to the parents of Chris's wife, Era-Beth. We had lunch at the bar and took a few refreshing drinks.


Era-Beth joined us with the kid and she invited us for a trip with her parents' motorboat. So we went to her parents house to enter the boat. It took a while to get the motor running after the winter break but with the expertise of her dad and with the neighboor's help we left the bay. It was great cruise along the shore in the sunshine.
After we returned, it was time for dinner. Before we made our way back to the hotel, we stopped at Fish Tales again. The next morning, we slept in. After a late, horrible breakfast, I decided to grab my book to lay at the beach. Rayl wanted to go to the shops at the boardwalk and Ryan was cruising down the boardwalk on his long-board. As I had a long drive home, I say good bye in the afternoon, after a wonderful weekend at the beach.
