This weekend our good friend's Trish and Dan invited us up to Trish's parent's beach house for a long weekend in Berlin, MD, just outside of Ocean City. Eight of us (Trish, Dan, Q, Jennifer, Betsy, Dusty and us) along with baby Joey and three dogs - Stone, Bear and Harvey - road tripped up to the perfect weekend get away. We had great weather all weekend so we made sure to get plenty of sand and surf in all 3 days. We went to the beach on Assateague Island which was a quick drive up the road, and offered a more quaint and relaxed atmosphere as compared to the close by Ocean City. It was fun to get back to Assateague as we had camped on bay side two times sine living in Virginia.
With Hurricane Bill moving up the east coast the waves were insane, which made playing in the ocean extra fun. Harvey even got to check out the ocean for his first time. He wasn't quite sure what to think... when the waves went out he tried to swim in the calm water, only to turn around and frantically run away from the waves when they rolled in. We got a bit over zealous and let him off leash, he went sprinting into the water just as a huge wave came. He came flying towards shore riding the wave, only to get flipped upside down and thrown all around. Needless to say he was a bit freaked after that, so we called it quits in the water time for Harvey and stuck to fetch in the sand.
Check out the huge waves rolling in behind.....
We also all took a trip into Ocean City which is more of a touristy beach (as compared to Assateague) with a board walk to boot. As expected it was packed, so we were glad we opted to just walk around and browse the endless boardwalk shopping.

The remainder of our time was spent relaxing at the beach house, watching movies, cooking yummy food (fresh shrimp!), watching movies, and just some good relaxing. Overall it was the perfect weekend getaway! Thanks Trish & Dan for letting us enjoy the Navarro's little piece of paradise.
