Ocean City, MD

Evelyn wanted to take a break from the blog, so I'm adding a guest entry.  We are on day 73 (Oct 22).

We just spent a week at the Maryland eastern shore with Renee's family.  Her sister, Louise, was kind enough to allow our kids to stay with her and her husband, Mike, at their townhouse in west Ocean City.  It's a beautiful place on the bay.  Renee and I stayed at the trailer with Sammy at nearby Castaways RV park.  It's a resort type campground.  Just about everyone has a golf cart and rides around the campground.  Kind of ridiculous really.  We took Sammy to the water to play, and he drank a bunch of salt water.  He ended up throwing up a bunch of times, but he's OK.  He was by himself more than usual, since we were visiting with Renee's family.

Renee's parents came to visit for two days.  They closed on their house last Thursday.  They have lived in it for 53 years.  They moved into a retirement facility in Parkville, not too far from the house.  They also sold most of their stuff like we did.  Renee's other sister, Pam, also visited with her husband, Tom, and their kids, Savanna and Tommy.  It was fun seeing everyone again.

During the week we played miniature golf in Ocean City, walked on the boardwalk, and I did some maintenance on the trailer.  The kids enjoyed visiting with the Seamans and sleeping in a house :).  I may do a separate post on trailer fixes.

We are heading into Delaware today.  We are expecting to see the DuPont mansion and museum as well as lots of things in Philadelphia.  Renee and I grew up around Baltimore, but we haven't seen all of the historical sights on the east coast.

We are hoping to reach Maine before it gets too cold, although it hardly seems like fall now with 75F days.

I'll file another entry summarizing the previous couple weeks we spent in Michigan and the drive to the Maryland shore.
