Hello!<\/p>\n

The sunshine this week has been a welcome visitor following the hurricane and a cold front, wouldn’t you say? \u00a0 Nothing can top the warm weekend we had last – it was glorious and I wish it would stay. We took a quick trip to Ocean City to see about any water damage to our property and we were fortunate. \u00a0My heart goes out to the many who have had an extremely difficult time of it after Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

People seemed to flock to the boardwalk – to stroll and just take in the beautiful day. \u00a0I loved seeing 101 different dog breeds out there too. We were a bit surprised to see a huge section of the boardwalk in total disarray, but learned that it was not from the storm but planned maintenance. Apparently they replace boards every year after tourist season. \u00a0Just think of all the coins that must fall through the boardwalk cracks over the years. \u00a0The kids actually found a few pennies.<\/p>\n

1\/4 of Ocean City missing!<\/address>\n

There was damage here and there on the boardwalk, most notably the fishing pier. \u00a0I saw photos of the pier during Hurricane Sandy news coverage – and was bummed to see that 100+ foot section missing with my own eyes. \u00a0I then thought of all of the damage to the boardwalk in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why walk on the boardwalk when we could get around on wheels? \u00a0 \u00a0My Dad’s taken the kids biking on the boardwalk, but we haven’t not so we decided to jump on some bikes – and not your average bikes! \u00a0I soon found out that those surreys are not so easy to peddle…. my poor husband seemed to do most of the work! \u00a0We had an hour and rode from the beginning of the boardwalk, to the very end and back. \u00a0 We didn’t feel so bad eating Thrashers fries after that trek!<\/p>\n

Gotta like the sign posted at the end of the boardwalk – reminds me of life: \u00a0if we’re fortunate enough, each day we get to turn around and do it again! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
