When we had our vacation last year, we chose to go to Ocean City because the kids and I haven't been there. My husband said that the last time he went to Ocean City was when he was in his teens. It was a long drive from where we live but it was all worth it. West Virginia to Maryland is a long drive but anticipating of the ocean made it exciting during road trip.
We stayed at a small hotel but it was okay because it was located near the ocean. We are a tight budget family household so we don't really stay in a luxurious hotel, as long as we have beds to lay at night, it is alright. The most important thing is for us to have fun and spend quality time together as a family.
The whole time we were at Ocean City, we never drove our van. We just walk wherever we go. One of our favorite time is walking along the boardwalk or in the sand.
We were able to see the beautiful sand sculptures near Paul Revere's.
I think it's amazing how artists can do this kind of art.
God truly blessed them with special talents so they could share their work for people like me who doesn't have the skill to doodle. I can't even draw a star right lol. But anyhow, I hope that we could go somewhere again this year. The kids look forward to some getaway on summer break. They prefer ocean, I prefer something different like mountain setting but Ocean is also great since it reminds me of my hometown back home.
Such creative sandcastles and a great collection of shadows on the boardwalk. I too love water worlds.
ReplyDeleteHere, in Clearwater there was a sand sculpture festival this weekend. I love your shadows falling on the boardwalk!
ReplyDeleteSand sculptures like this are so amazing! I remember seeing some when I was a child and being amazed by them.
ReplyDeleteWow, fancy sand sculptures! We made sand sculptures as kids during summer vacations, but ours were usually castles... and much less elaborate. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWowwee!! Sculptures in the sand like that always amaze me. There's a lot of talent you have to have to make something like that, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI admire people who can sculpt from sand---all that work, only to be washed away!
