Despite taking the family on a rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon and two weeks in Alaska, I was informed that I was a failure because we didn’t visit the beach all Summer. \u00a0Frankly, I’m not a huge fan of the beach, but the next thing I knew we were spending a huge wad of cash to visit Ocean City for the long weekend.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the weekend was a spur-of-the-moment parasailing adventure.<\/p>\n

We also bought tickets for all we could play miniature golf. \u00a0Over the four and a half courses we played, we had a record 20 holes in one!<\/p>\n

We spent both evenings walking up and down the boardwalk, had some nice meals, and generally had a good time. \u00a0Considering this is the last big weekend of Summer at the beach, the crowds weren’t nearly as bad as I expected. \u00a0It was a nice way to spend the weekend.<\/p>\n
