There and back again
We went to the beach. . .for a day (and a night). Not a big deal but a nice getaway (though I am always happy to be home - I really am a homebody). We went to celebrate our anniversary so we went to Ocean City Maryland - the same place we spent our honeymoon. It’s changed quite a lot since then (but we knew that ’cause we’ve been there many times since our honeymoon).
As always I have pictures to share. 
Daddy with Maria as she gets her first view of the water. Behind them you can see where the ocean meets the bay (or vice versa). Right the bottom of OC. It was very windy and quite chilly so we only stayed a few minutes.
Of course a trip to Maryland would not be complete without crabcakes. But hubby doesn’t eat seafood so I had the seafood platter (with crabcake) and he had the chopped sirloin. We were both happy.
This is what Maria did while we ate dinner:
What a good baby she is!
This is what she did in the hotel room after dinner:
She’s trying to learn to crawl - oh boy.
.This was the view from our hotel room. Well done on the hotel pick hubby dear. Very nice.
I took this shot last night. The waves were quite high.
This was the beach this morning before we left.
It was calmer but misty.
Overall it was a quick trip but a relaxing and fun one too. I haven’t been to the “water” in a few years so even just a day was worth the drive (only 3 hours) . I love the ocean. Just watching it and smelling it gives me a sense of peace. it was far to cold to even consider going in. . .but then the hotel hot tub was plenty warm.

What a fabulous anniversary for the two of you (ok, three of you). I love the beach too. The pictures are fabulous and make me yearn for the water.

Sounds heavenly! Happy anniversary!
This looks like a wonderful trip. I would love to go to the ocean. My 10 year is coming up in June and I don’t think we’re going to go anywhere. Happy Anniversary!!
Beautiful! I wonder if the waves were elevated due to that Gale out at sea? (I think it’s much further south now, nearly FL)
What a wonderful way to celebrate your anniversary. I’ve only seen the ocean from a plane when we took off from LAX in CA. I would love to see it up close and on land.
Your daughter is so precious. Such big beautiful eyes.
What a ‘get away’ place!!!! Looks like a fun time ~ which you certainly deserve. You have a PRECIOUS baby girl!
Sounds like an awesome trip. Maria is very good with travel, isn’t she? I like your blog and will check in regularly
See you tonight at RCIA!
I am SO glad that y’all got to get away for your anniversary! You both deserve it. I loved the “dinner” pics.tell Tim that his eyes look so much like dad’s in that picture. Maria is amazing and oh So beautiful! It makes me want to hop in my car and zoom on up there (if I only could) I miss y’all.
Great pictures. Happy anniversary!!! Maria looks just like her daddy : )
How lovely! Beautiful baby and great beach….we went to the beach 22 years ago on our anniversary….you’ve given me an idea!
Happy Happy Anniversary! I just love that Maria…too cute!
