We took a side trip to Ocean City one day when Lyla was particularly cranky. We figured she would fall asleep on the ride there and Mark could show me his old stomping grounds. Well, that didn't happen and Lyla happily accompanied us the whole day without napping.
Ocean City is kind of a trip. It's sort of stuck in the '50s, populated with hotels called the "Shangri La" and the "Sea Breeze". There are tons of old school concessions on the pier and an absurd number of mini-golf courses around the city. Kitschy is an understatement, but we had fun walking the boardwalk and taking it all in.
Mark used to go to Ocean City in high school and loves pointing out all the hotels and bars where he spent his time. One of those places is Seacrets, a huge restaurant/bar, where the floor is all sand and you can paddle up and get served while sitting in an inner tube. We stopped there for lunch so I could get the full Seacrets "experience"
Lyla right before she fell out of the booth...In all fairness to me, the booths weren't connected to the walls and another kid did the same thing about 10 minutes later. Luckily, the floor was made of sand ;)
Mommy needed a nice cold drink after that tumble.
And she's off. "Mommy, this floor is made of SAND"
Lyla finally fell asleep just as we were making the last turn to go home.
