Last week the kids and I went to Ocean City, Maryland. I hadn't been there in several years.

We were very limited when we could take our vacation because the kids summer is so booked between other vacations with friends and family, driving lessons, and then sports start back up mid-August. Normally I would want to go to Myrtle Beach but since that does take an entire day to drive and then another to drive back we decided to go someplace closer. I was a little bummed that we couldn't go to Myrtle Beach but decided spending family time and being at the beach was what was really important.

The kids loved the boardwalk. We found some really cool places to eat at. Two of our favorite places were both on the bay side. One was called Seacrets and you can even sit on a raft or a bar stool in the water in the bay! It was just really need to sit outside and enjoy the sunset.

During the day we would relax down at the beach for half of the day and then up at the pool for the other part of the day. At night we would go to the boardwalk or mini golf and then walk to get ice cream. Our hotel was really neat. It had an atrium inside of it with birds that would talk to you and sometimes they would get out of their cages and just be walking around. The kids thought that was the neatest thing ever!

It was one of the best vacations the kids and I have had. Very relaxing and peaceful. We had such a great time that I think Ocean City may become our go to vacation spot! The only negative about it was we couldn't stay longer!

Check out a few pictures of our trip.
