The shore trip

I know Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, so it's okay if I still talk about summer, right? 

....
That's what I thought. 


This girl has FINALLY been to Ocean City, NJ! I went down with my friends Bethany and Michael to (1) go to the beach, and more importantly (2) visit our friend Amanda from college! It was awesome being reunited because I hadn't seen her since our friends Kiersten and Travis got married last October! The first night we were there, we didn't go to bed until after 1am because we were having so much fun talking and laughing (we did a couple of rounds of MadLibs!) I'm laughing just thinking about it! Here's one on them:


Oh and let's not forget Chick-Fil-a! Hehe....we got this glorious food for dinner our first night down there and for lunch before we left for home! Chick-Fil-a is such a novelty to me that I was THAT tourist that took pictures of the food and the building! Don't judge.


On Saturday we went to the Ocean City boardwalk and had a blast! There's a lot of fun shops and food places and attractions to go to. It took us a while to get down the boardwalk because Michael and Bethany were taking a plethora of pictures! Next time you get on  Facebook, like their page, MBH Photography! They're always looking for photoshoots to do, if you're interested :)

Here's a picture I snapped of the boardwalk: 


We played some mini golf while on the boardwalk during hottest part of the day but it was still fun :) 



It was pirate-themed and we had fun at hole 17! Haha... By the end of the game, I had won without realizing it! I haven't played mini golf in years so I was surprised! 

After that we visited Shriver's. If you love salt water taffy, then this is the place for you! They also have huge windows that let you watch the taffy process! We had just missed it, but we were there to buy taffy, and boy, DID we! They have so many flavors! I recommend checking it out if you're ever down there :)

Sunday was beach day! After church, we split for the seas! We were there for a few hours before rain showers moved in, but we all swam in the ocean (I forgot how salty it is!), sunbathed, walked along the beach, took pictures, and collected shells :) 







Yep, it was definitely a memorable weekend. I'm so thankful for the friends I got to spend it with :)

Parting shot: Amanda's family's cat, Precious....just because haha
