july 2nd - happy birthday drew

We celebrated drew's birthday with a day in Ocean City. It was a beautiful ride down through the backroads and seeing first hand why Jersey is the garden state. Lots of farms, lots of horses, and the closest we came to finishing Alex's road trip bingo game. 

We started on the beach where it was ridiculously hot. It was like torture because the water had to be less than 60°. The kids were wading in it and playing but Daddy got mild hypothermia of the ankles. We had a quick lunch, paid for a shower, and then went to the party at Castaway Cove. 

Alex and Gemma loved going on all the rides. Alex was a little more daring (and tall enough) on the bigger rides. He and Daddy even went on the swings which were really high and fast. We screamed like girls the whole time. 

Awesome day!
