Sorry for the slow blogging these last few days! Do you ever have those vacations where you come back more tired and grumpy than before?
I was so excited about our trip to our old home-state (Maryland! Crabs! Family! Friends!), but I managed to give Cath and Matt a stomach flu. If you had any doubts before, stomach flu and 14-hour road trips do not mix well. Between the three of us being sick I think we had 4 good days sans nausea – so we had to make the most of it.
Look, here is Cath (pre-stomach flu) looking so cute, prepping for Maryland crabs and cold beer (nom!):
Once you get outside of the trashier bits of Ocean City (I use the descriptor “trashy” fondly), there are some great gems like roadside farm stands:
. and wild ponies/horses on Assateague Island:
Ooo and crab cakes, sweet corn and Boardwalk fries (again pre-stomach flu):
Watching clouds that look like jelly fishies! Does that only happen by the ocean?
Running away from dinosaurs:
Then hiding from them:
Cloudy beaches:
Yummy fruity drinks (that would have been alcoholic if I hadn’t just gotten over the stomach flu):
I apologize if I just said “stomach flu” like three million times in one post. I find it funny though, if you just look at these pics, it looks like we had a perfect vacay and I should be feeling nicely tanned and perfectly refreshed. I didn’t take any photos of me gripping a plastic bag around my face and shivering in the front seat of the car. I wouldn’t want to inflict that on any of our lovely readers, but that’s kind of what I think of when someone asks “How was your vacation?!” “My wahh-huh?”
And we missed you guys! We’ll be back to regular blogging (sans mention of beach or flu) shortly!
oh man! so sorry to hear you guys were all sick. the stomach flu is NEVER fun 🙁 so glad you’re back though! your readers miss you!!!

Looks like a fun and relaxing time. I miss the beach. Here we only have lake-beaches, but by midsummer the water is full of algae, ick!

Aww shucks! Hope you gals feel 100% better! Looks like you managed to have a great time, though. I adore your hats; perfect for east coast beach loungin!

Yikes, sorry to hear that you were all so ill! But the trip photos sans stomach flu really do make it seem like you had a blast.
We went to the same restaurant!!! I immediately recognized it from the picture with Cath;-)
Great pics.especially the yummy food! Sorry to hear you were sick during your vacay time but happy to know you all are doing much better!
Lovely pictures!!! I am a fan of roadside stands, even though the last time I’ve seen them was almost a decade ago when I visited the Philippines. No such luck seeing them here in IL 🙁
I am sorry to hear about the stomach flu. I have a super sensitive tummy, and I know the feeling. I’ll stop there about that.
Seeing both your cute hats and short hair makes me want to chop mine off!!!
Haha it does look like the perfect vacation. but I can just imagine the misery between the shots. The food looks awesome. god I miss roadside produce stands. Those peaches look fantastic!
Great pics, LarLarLar! Except for the one of Cath “hiding” from the dinosaur. Might wanna take a closer look at that one.
