We are back from vacation. Last week my hubby, son and I went to Ocean City, MD for vacation. I brought my laptop with the intent of sitting on our deck over looking the pier blogging about vacation but you know what, I didn’t want to! I never even took my laptop out of its bag! Ok, the hubby took his out but I only went on it 2-3 times during the week to check email. And what is even more surprising, I didn’t miss it. I didn’t have the shakes with the need to check email, Facebook, Goodreads……It was like shedding a responsibility that wasn’t a daily necessity. Perhaps it was even a lesson in restraint reminding me those things are not what keep me a float. Yes, I will still check them and be active with them on a regular basis but now I know I can cope if I don’t check in several times every day.
Any way, the vacation. We had a nice time. It was the first time our son’s been to the beach. I can’t believe he is almost 4 and we had not yet taken him to the beach! Shame on us! He had a blast. The time we spent on the beach he spent it on the surfs edge playing in the wet sand and water. He also spent some time in the waves hanging on daddy, shovel and all! And any time we were not on the beach we were either on the boardwalk or eating anything with blue crab in it. Love blue crab! Love the divey little crab shacks with brown paper on the table and the smell of seafood and old-bay-type spices in the air.

The condo we rented was great!! We like staying on the bay when we go to the shore. This was our first time in OC, MD but we lucked out with a great rental. Here is the view from our dock.
We even had a deck with sliding door in the master bedroom. We fell asleep each night listening to the movement of the bay. It was great! Oh, and we even did some crabbing off our dock! My little crabber caught about 10 mud crabs, totally uneatable, 5 blue claw crab (3 were an ok size but were caught on the last night), one hermit crab and one star fish!
Escapey!!
Two Blue Claws & a Starfish in one pot!
