We headed to Ocean City, NJ today to check out the boardwalk and beach. What a fun day we had! It only took a little over an hour to get there and parking was easy so that was a bonus. I guess not many people were interested in the beach since it was pretty cloudy out and a little cool. We walked the boardwalk for a little while, stopping for lunch along the way. We found out the girls both like Philly cheese steaks (I am pretty sure it is my new favorite sandwich too). I thought for sure Mckenzie was going to spit the sandwich out when she took a bite, but she confiscated part of my sandwich for herself. Abby kept asking for more bites too. Those kids surprise me every day. We found an area with rides and the girls had a blast. I think Abby's favorite was either the roller coaster or the screamer (a slow ride up and then a quick fall).  She did both rides with Scott while Mckenzie and I watched and took pictures. Abby's face was one of pure delight and excitement as she was riding both of them. Mckenzie was able to do quite a few of the rides as well and had a big smile on her face. She liked a balloon ride that spun in circles. Those girls have a better stomach than I do. One ride on the tilt a whirl and I wasn't too sure about any more! Scott was like a big kid and had as much fun as the girls! After we finished riding, we got an ice cream snack and walked the boardwalk some more.  We headed down to the beach and the girls and Scott worked on building sandcastles. Abby wanted to go down to the water so away we went even though it was pretty cool. Mckenzie wasn't so sure about walking on the sand so Scott had to carry her. She wasn't too sure about the water either. She was content to stay in Scott's arms and watch Abby dash back and forth with the waves. Mckenzie finally warmed up to the water and then she fell down and got wet. Poor girl was so cold! Luckily we had a change of clothes with and a nice big blanket to wrap up in. Abby loved the water. She couldn't get enough of it. The smile on her face said it all. We stayed on the beach for a while before heading back to the boardwalk. Mckenzie finally fell asleep in the stroller as we headed back toward the car. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant for dinner on the way home and it was added to the list of disappointing restaurants. We still have yet to find a Mexican restaurant worth returning too. Makes both of us miss Charleston and the delicious La Hacienda! We got the girls home, a quick bath, and off to bed. I hope the fresh air today tired the girls out. I don't feel like sleeping on Mckenzie's floor again tonight like I did for a little while last night!
