Going Down the Ocean, Hon

Many residents escape to the alluring Ocean City, MD.

Every year around this time, summer fever starts to set in. Many start thinking about the beach and long to get away. Most local residents make a fast break for Ocean City, MD.  The Ocean has many things to offer, along with a free, clean, warm beach.   

The many restaurants that line the coastal highway provide a wide range of food choices. There are many entertainment spots, from put-put, nightclubs, laser tag, and even a water park. The adults can escape to Seacrets, a restaurant/night club with sandy beaches and floats in the water. 

Lansdowne residents just like to take Memorial Day's three-day weekend to relax; maybe read a book on the beach while listening to cries of the seagulls. For some it’s a romantic getaway, away from work and stress.

Depending on your timing, you may have had to sit in traffic for hours. The traffic seems to get stopped up right near Easton, and the road turns into a parking lot. It doesn’t matter what time you leave on Monday, at some point you hit a load of traffic.

Today you can probably hear the groans and complaints of your fellow office people wishing they were back in Ocean City. But that’s okay; we have three more months of this blissful, scorching hot summer left.
