Ocean City, MD

There are tons of beaches in the East. I had no idea and they're all beautiful. This was such a great day. We had tons of fun.

Since it doesn't snow very much here, Alexis had to make a sand angel. I guess you can't take Utah out of her even at the beach.

There was a nice boardwalk along this beach with stores and yummy things to eat. Kimberly went with us and I'm glad she suggested I get into the water, even though it was cold. I had no intention of freezing. It warmed up once you were in there for a few minutes. I had forgotten how much fun the ocean was. I hadn't been in the ocean since I was probably 14. I felt like a little kid and actually didn't want to get out. I could have stayed in there all day. Oh, the life of a beach bum.

The day ended with a trip to Rita's Italian Ice. Alexis loves the misto shake. They take Italian ice and mix it with custard, so yummy. I can't wait to explore more beaches in the East.

What a fun Memorial Day we had. We had an amazing barbecue on Sunday, steak with carmelized shallots; tomatoe, basil, and buffalo mozzarella cheese; garlic mashed potatoes, and for desseret the best homemade peach pie ever, of course, Kimberly baked it.

Memorial Day - Annapolis, MD

I've been hearing about how much I would like Annapolis for years and I finally got to go there. I absolutely loved it!!! The Naval Academy is located here and we went on a boat ride. The city has so much character.

You know how you tell your kids not the play with their food... well, here not only do you get to play with your food, you get to take a hammer to your food and pound on it. It was so much fun. First time I've ever had crab. It tasted so delicious. Alexis even got the hang of it, too. Science disections will never be the same again.

Memorial Day continued

We saw Night at the Museum 2 at the Nat'l Air and Space Museum, IMAX. It was so much fun watching the movie where it was filmed.

Skyline Drive, Shenandoah Nat'l Forest

The Shenandoah's are so beautiful. On our drive up we even saw a bear cub. I've never seen a bear not in a zoo. It was so exciting, but I'm glad we were safe in our car.

The day ended with a very cool swim. Alexis has been waiting since the beginning of April to go swimming in our pool.
