Ocean City

We arrived in Ocean City, Maryland yesterday to meet up with more of the man's Italian family.  These are some of the "New York Italians" I was warned about.  Before we left I was asked if I was ready for New York yet, and I just said, I guess I am ready for anything.  I love Italians!  They have wonderful food.  They know how to party, and when to stop.  I was done in by 10:00 after a verrrry long walk (2 hours) on the boardwalk, a wonderful home cooked meal of linguini with clam sauce (and loads of fresh cooked clams in the shells), caprese salad, wine and more wine, and Texas hold 'em, which I won, hands down.  Did they let me win?  Nah, I don't think so.  But I impressed all of them, especially since I have never played before.  Did I leave anything out?  Ahhhh, some afternoon delight, ahem, I mean, a nice little nap to prepare for the onslaught of Italian relatives.  That's it! 

Today is beach time....  I have already gotten some sun, something I haven't done in years.  But today is swim suits, a bit of water, and walking the beach, and then.....who knows.  Lunch, and back on the road.  We are going back home to check on the kitty, then tomorrow, Indiana.  Yikes!  The longest leg of our trip.  It will be 11-12 hours and we are starting out at around 6:00 am.  Why?  Well, this all started with a family reunion/memorial service at my brother's in Michigan this weekend.  Just a few side trips....  And they got bigger and bigger.  Fun!

Sooo, stay tuned.  Oh yeh, pictures!  Lots of those.  I will post some if I ever have the time again......
