OCNJ 2011: a day at the beach...

...is better than a day just about anywhere else! even if it's gray and rainy and the ocean looks like it could eat me alive.  i love everything about being at the beach...listening to the crash of the waves in the morning, smelling the salt air, attempting to tame my hair that gets fluffier by the second, the beach can do no wrong in my eyes!

mz's family rents a house in ocean city, nj just about every year after the summer season is over.  it's a great time to be at the beach without all of the traffic and tourists.  we were lucky enough to take a few days off from work and spend 5 days down there this year...i did a whole lot of reading on my kindle, which was so nice and relaxing:
while mz and his brothers did a whole lot of this:
talking/debating about the most foolish things on earth...like how to properly stuff an olive with blue cheese.

we did get some pockets of sun and we took advantage of those days the best we could!  lots of beach walking and even spent some time on the boardwalk watching the ocean city air show - complete with wing walkers!

the waves were crazy and created so much foam...kinda looked like abby was out for a stroll in the snow!
perfect day for kiteboarding, there were about 30 of them out on sunday. i really want to try this next year!! who's with me?!

it helps to act like a bird in order to get the best pictures of them...or i just like to do weird things. :)

a few more pictures are hiding here.
