Ocean City Adventures


I went to Ocean City and Rehobeth Beach this weekend and who knew that a simple trip to the beach could be such an adventure. We arrived on Friday afternoon and started off the day walking around the boardwalk. Then we went to this really nice private beach off a hotel called Castle in the Sand. The waves were really high and it was really relaxing to be in the ocean. There is something about being in the water that makes all the stresses of everyday life go away. After the beach walked around the boardwalk again, and went to this very nice authentic Mexican restaurant where I had my first vegtable fajita. It was really amazing. I loved making my own burrito.

The next day was even more adventurous. We went to Rehobeth Beach and we walked on the boardwalk where I bought a soft pretzel. It was really good, and we walked to the beach while I ate my soft pretzel. I was on my last bit when all of a sudden a sea gull swopped down and snatched the last piece of my pretzel and flew away. It happened so fast I did not even realize it happened until the pretzel was gone. I think birds are way to comfortable with people! After that, I went swimming in the ocean, and while swimming, I felt a stinging sensation in my arms and then in my leg. I got out of the water and noticed I had a rash on my arms and leg. I found out that I had gotten stuck by a jelly fish. All in all, the beach was an awesome experience from my first jelly fish sting to a bird stealing my food to my first fajita.

I notice such a difference between city birds and suburb birds. City birds are very friendly and will get much closer to you becasue people are always giving them food. Same goes for the beach birds. A lot of Dolly's popcorn Thrashers fries to be fed.

I agree. I think the beach birds are way to friendly. That was my pretzel, he should have gotten his own pretzel!! :)
