Ocean City
July 31, 2006
I was a mess before our trip to Ocean City, Maryland. Usually before a trip, I’m driving myself crazy making sure we have a place to stay and at least a rough budget worked out. The four boys I went with decided to put me to the test and not let me plan anything. No times - we would leave when we woke up and come home when we got sick of the beach. No hotels - we would worry about sleeping when we got tired.
I don’t think I ever got sick of the beach. After the three-hour drive, we arrived at the ocean, found cheap parking, ate cheap food, and dove in. It was proabably the first trip we’ve taken this summer that it didn’t rain, and the ice cold saltwater (in addition to the smooth beaches) was a much-welcomed change from the rocky bay and warm, gross pool. Since none of us slept the night before, we fell asleep on the shore for two hours. We were completely drenched in sun and sand. It was fantastic. And as a sidenote, the only thing more gorgeous than the beach were a couple of the guys I went with who I rarely see without staff shirts.
At night we walked the boardwalk and shopped, of course constantly taking pictures of ourselves pretending to be sexy and really being stupid.
By the time midnight rolled around, we were still at a loss for where we’d be staying that night. Walking towards my car, Gokhan spotted a Turkish flag hanging on the outside of a large, yellow house. After yelling in Turkish to a group of people on the front porch, we walked over and they welcomed us. We talked for three hours and decided to get an early start to camp. We left at 3:00am and got back at 6:00am, giving us a good four hours of sleep before we needed to be on duty.
Overall, a short, relaxing, and very spontaneous trip. Click here or below for the slideshow.

I love Ocean City. I go every year. I do recommend a picture of the ferris wheel at night. The lights are spectacular.
