Aug 11, 2009

We got up in the morning and had our hotel breakfast of fruit, toast and yogurt before going down to the beach. It was basically just like Jersey except there seemed to be less waves and more hotels.

I haven't really gotten a tan this year... but I swam in the shallow ocean for a little while. Katie spent time lying on the beach and came in the water to cool off before we left.

I used the shower just off the beach to wash the sand and salt off of me. It made me this happy. I hate the feeling after getting out of the ocean.. I wish we had showers on the Jersey shore.

Next we went to Mount Trashmore. That's the actual name and the description of this place. It's an old landfill that was covered over and turned into a park. It's a nice park but the description online made it sound a lot bigger with trails. Really, it's just a hill with stairs that take you to the top and there isn't even a good view..

There wasn't much else to do so we headed back to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

We stopped at Fisherman's Pier on the way back to check out the view. A big Navy ship had just gone through that you can see in the distance.

It was cool to see the bridge in both directions. We didn't stay long because it was a just a pier with a bunch of people fishing.

I'm a crab.

Yep.

We drove home quickly. Just fast enough to make it for Round 1 of Quizzo.

We finally managed to beat Keepin' it Classy... the team of teachers that we've been competing with for first place. We all cheered when they announced them in second place. Until next week...

Beach, lots of driving and first place Quizzo finish. Good day.
