Family Fun in Ocean City, Maryland

Note: This post is from 2015. Although most of the activities still go on, you should check with the location for dates and times.

I love the beach, but now that I go with a family, I wanted to try to find some things to do other than the typical beach, boarwalk, miniature golf and stuffing our faces. Although we love all of those things, I also thought it would be fun to mix it up a little. Here are a few things that we may try to add to our next trip.

Sundaes on the Beach (and Fireworks) - Bring your picnic basket and beach chairs to Northside Park on 125th Street for ice cream sundaes and live entertainment. Sundaes in the Park is a family concert series offered Sunday evenings in July and August from 7pm to 9pm. For a small fee, enjoy your own ice cream sundae creation as you listen to your musical favorites and watch the sunset over the beautiful Assawoman Bay. Children's entertainment is also presented each week. The night will end with a fireworks display at 9pm.

Assateague Island (ponies) - Assateague Island wild ponies travel the beach near Chincoteague, Virginia & Ocean City, Maryland. Assateague's north entrance is eight miles from Ocean City. Assateague Island provides outdoor recreation, nature tours to see wild ponies and more.

Movies on the Beach at the Carousel - Free movies on the beach for the entire family! Bring your beach chair or a blanket and enjoy the night beside the ocean. Every Wednesday from June 1 thru August 31 - 8:30 p.m. - Carousel Hotel, 118th Street

Ripley's Believe It or Not - Experience three unique attractions including Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium, the mind-bending Marvelous Mirror Maze, and the challenging and fun Ripley’s Impossible LaseRace!

OC Beach Lights Spectacular! Show - These shows feature lasers, lights, video, fireworks, music and special effects all displayed on a 5 story tall giant beach ball. These shows will be lighting up the beach at North Division Street three times every Sunday night, Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, with a special Patriotic Show Saturday May 23rd. Show times are 9:30pm, 10:00pm and 10:30pm. Shows are visible along the south end of the beach and boardwalk with the best viewing area on the boardwalk at North Division Street.

Fireworks - Monday and Tuesday nights starting July 11th and continuing through August 30th, there will be fireworks on the beach. The Beach Fireworks will be lighting up the sky over the south end of the boardwalk starting at 10pm. The fireworks will also feature a musical presentation.

Who Am I?

Who am I?
Isn’t that one of those questions you ask yourself in your mid-twenties? You think deeply about it and come up with some philosophical answer that defines you and your path. Well, at this point, I am not sure that I have the time or the desire to define myself with a deep philosophical definition. What I can tell you is that my mind has taught itself to think in a much simpler and direct way. So, who am I?

I am a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an aunt, a Godmother and a coworker. I am someone who puts in a load of laundry and may forget to hit the start button because the baby cried or a math homework problem needed some assistance. I am someone who loves that my son plays sports but still prays for rain every once in a while because we really could use a quiet night at home. I am someone who stays up later than planned because I am chatting with my older sister or I finally have the time and energy to clean the bathroom. Let’s not kid ourselves; I may also be up because I recently caught a Candy Crush addiction. We all like to think of ourselves as originals, and in some way we are, but I also know that I have many of the same joys and challenges as others. I hope you find that makes me relatable.
