today i went to the seaside and it was awesome!
the day started off normal enough. dana and gdad wanted to do something in oxford so mom and i went with them in the car. they dropped us off outside of town in a boring ass graveyard. oh man. i stomped around the graveyard with mom while she told boring stories about the american revolution. some revolution guy is buried there so we checked out his markers. so boring. i just wanted to throw stuff in the water, i mean it's right there for christ sake. who makes a graveyard right next to a river? kind of gross if you ask me. anyway dana eventually came back for us and took us home.
got back to dana's and there was a boat in the front yard. where did that come from? dana said that's what they moved from oxford. cool. she let me sit in it while she pulled the boat around to the backyard. oh man that was so fun. then she went inside and i got to stay in the backyard playing with the boat. there was no mast so i stuck an oar in the mast hole. it worked perfect. i pretended to sail around the yard.
i had a nice play and then mom called me into the house. it's time for the seaside! so off we went to the car. dana's friend susan showed up and came with us. once she got in dana's car, off we went. it's kind of a long drive to where we went but i was good. blueberry came with me so the two of us messed around playing i spy.
we went to a place called assateague. it's a small island famous for it's wild ponies. dana drove us around and sure enough, we saw some ponies wandering around munching on grass. yeah yeah that's great, now what about the seaside? dana parked and we all got out. it was just a short walk to the ocean. wow. i got over the top of the dune and there was miles of fine white sand. the beach is huge! there is a big storm headed our way so the ocean was really choppy. i didn't care, i just ran right in. i had so much fun. i love the seaside. mom does not. she made unhappy faces and went back to the car early. the wind was really high and that sandblasted her glasses to the point she couldn't see. i staid with dana and susan. we saw dolphins! they were swimming by right off the beach.
dana and susan finally dragged me off the beach and back to the car. i got showered off and changed into some dry clothes. then it was back in the car for us.
dana drove us to the next town- ocean city, md. it's a big seaside resort. there was so much cool stuff to see, i didn't know where to look first. i saw waterslides, crazy golf, ice cream stands and more beach. there were rides to go on. oh it was all very exciting. we ended up at a pizza joint. mom ordered me a bunch of different food but all i wanted was french fries. i got the biggest pile of fries i've ever seen. they were super good. after everyone was stuffed full of food we went for a short walk down the boardwalk. mom said- you can't go to the seaside and not have ice cream. so we found a dairy queen ice cream store and mom ordered me a mini blizzard chocolate extreme. and it was extreme. blizzards are kind of like super thick milkshakes. you need a spoon to eat them. oh so tasty.
after ice cream it was back in the car and we went home. phew. what a day. i fell asleep on the ride back. i had a super nice day.
