Independence Day 2009

July endowed to our tribe our first opportunity to stay over-night at Nana and Poppop's new beach place in Ocean City, MD. Wow, what a beautiful weekend we were blessed with!

Friday and Saturday we had 2 perfect days on the beach. Plenty of sand. Plenty of sun. Not too hot. Not too cold. And crazy huge waves. Not surprisingly, Alex spent most of his time in the water and the girls are progressively working their way out a little further each time we head to the shore.

Saturday night, being July 4th, after blowing bubbles off the deck for a while and cooking hamburgers on an electric grill (which also involved blowing a circuit breaker and leaving certain family members in the dark in a bathroom), we had quite the surprise: We were able to see a multitude of fireworks displays right from the deck of Nana and Poppop's condo. Some where set off by OC, some by specific hotels, and one by a night club, with the later being the closest and most enjoyable.

Thanks, Nana and Poppop for the great weekend! And Happy Independence Day. God Bless America!
