The Rest of Tuesday (PM)

After visiting Assateague Island, we headed to Ocean City, Maryland. I would say there were a good number of early vacationers there. We headed down the Boardwalk to check out the various things of interest.



There were small amusement rides for little kiddies. Vanessa was very excited. Mommy went to purchase the tickets Vanessa would need to ride the small airplane-go-round and fire truck-go-round, and even a few extra. Mommy just knew once Vanessa rode one ride, it would be hard to pull her away from many. She was being loaded into one of the rides when we explained that we would not be riding with her but we would be watching. She panicked and had to get out. She then told us that she just wanted to look around. She liked watching all the rides but refused to get on any. We ended up sharing her tickets with a family with two preschoolers. And although Vanessa changed her mind about riding daring rides, she was not shy about kissing a pirate and playing with his beard.


We really enjoyed the fun mirrors too. It created lots of giggles. We now use the various pictures to talk about smaller and bigger, taller and shorter. And riding the coin operated "tractor" proved to be lots of fun.


We had delicious pizza and cherry-strawberry flavored ice. We played at various playgrounds along the beach.


Where's Vanessa?

And we checked out various shops without having to walk in. This place got our attention. They even had an obnoxious Batmobile. Where's Daddy?
