Outrageous Ocean City Beach, Maryland

Our next stop (yes this was a jam packed trip so I am breaking it down into days/cities) was Ocean City Maryland! It was fantastic!! We drove a about 3 hours (from the DC Temple) and got there about midnight. We were so excited to get to our romantic beach hotel, walked up to the room, and saw 2 twin beds....awesome. Sam was so bitter, and spent about an hour and a half on the phone with hotels.com and the hotel management...not so fun. And no we couldn't push the beds together...they were bolted where they were! So yes, because I can't sleep alone anymore, we slept in a twin bed together. Haha I woke up so refreshed and slept so well, and Sam had a pretty horrible sleep. Love the difference between men and women haha! We hung out at the beach in the morning! It was my first time in the Atlantic Ocean!






I always like writing our names in the sand at the beach. I just think it is fun!



We laughed pretty hard at that street sign! Sam made me pose with it! hehe!




My Heaven on Earth right here. Not only was I engulfed in all of this delectable candy, but the colors in there were spectacular. Bright pretty colors can cheer me up no matter what. Loved this store!! We got some really good salt water taffy here!



We had a terrific time walking up and down the Ocean City Boardwalk. LOTS of people watching which I always love. That picture is of the boardwalk from the pier. It was pretty long if you can tell!

Sam eating some Dip n' Dots...there are the ice cream of the future you know. Although I think they have had that title for a long time now...is it not the future yet??

Wonderful Washington DC

After hitting Baltimore we went to Washington DC! We took a bus tour around to all of the sights! It was so amazing! Here are a few of our highlights (yes there are a lot of pictures!!):



Lincoln Memorial:


Washington Monument:

Korean War Veterans Memorial:
World War II Memorial:
My Pennsylvania man!
California Girl through and through!

George Walton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence! So cool to see a distant relative on here!
John Hancock of course!
The White House:
Yea he is touching a piece of the moon!
I always knew I would make a fantastic flight attendant!
Oh Sam...these ones are at the Smithsonian Aviation Museum by the way!
Spirit of the St. Louis!
I'm just a bill....on capitol hill! It was cool to see Sam standing on the steps that his grandpa walked on! He was a State Senator for Pennsylvania, William B. Lentz!
Arlington Memorial Changing of the Guards. A cool ceremony! They guard the Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers.
A cool cathedral we passed on the way to the temple! I thought it was beautiful so I made Sam stop..hehe.
The Washington DC Temple, such an amazing place! I love that Sam and I know try to always make going to the Temple part of our vacation. It makes our vacation that much more special. All in all a fantastic and crazy packed day in Washington DC! Thank you for taking me to this amazing place babe!

Bodacious Baltimore

A few weeks ago Sam and I had a FABULOUS trip to the East Coast to see the sights and visit his family. SUCH an amazing trip!

First stop:

Baltimore Maryland

We went to Inner Harbor and hung out for awhile at the National Aquarium. Such a cool place! I can't remember the last time I have been to an aquarium so that was pretty cool, even though I have a weird fear of fish. But there were also plenty Turtles which I seemed to have fallen in love with since Hawaii last summer!





After going through the entire aquarium, we prepared ourselves for Phillips Seafood Buffett...translation: pounds and pounds of crab legs!

(before)


(after!)

Man I love crab legs! Yea...I make messes when I eat! hehe.

After Phillip's, we went to the Orioles vs. Red Sox game. It was pretty darn fun! I had never been rained out at a baseball game before! That game was also the biggest comeback in Baltimore Oriole history!!

Orioles were losing to the Red Sox 10-1...not so good. Then it started absolutely pouring!! Since it was late in the game most people just left. Sam and I tried to hold out, but it kept pouring for an hour and we had to drive for like 2 hours, so we left...then when we got to our hotel and Sam turned on Sportscenter...sure enough, Orioles came back and beat the Red Sox 11-10! So crazy!
