Ocean City and Assateague Island, Maryland

Ocean City is a beach town in Maryland that has over 300,000 visitors during summer weekends. We visited over Memorial Day weekend so it was pretty crowded with being the official opening of the summer season. This year, my birthday was on Memorial Day. The water was a bit cold, but Owen was so happy to be playing in the sand again. When we were in Rota we would go to the beach every day. Owen’s favorite part of Ocean City was the water park just down the street. The water there was a bit cold too, but Owen did fine with his life jacket adding an extra layer of insulation. This was Milton’s first overnight trip away from home. We also visited the barrier island Assateague Island. It crosses state borders so that half is in Maryland and the southern half is in Virginia. We were able to go to both the VA and MD visitor centers so I got my stamps.
