Relaxing at the beach...

This is me at our condo getting ready to head out for a drive with Kevin

We decided we would drive down to Berlin Maryland and Snow Hill Maryland. These small historic towns in the South Eastern part of Ocean City are famous and only about a 45 min drive from our condo. Runaway bride was filmed in Berlin. 

The 1999 movie, "Runaway Bride" starred Julia Roberts.

Getting my feet wet in the Ocean

Getting dark at the beach ~ we prefer being out of the sun and going at dusk!

Me at Ocean City Maryland ~ the beach at 135th Street

As we were leaving the beach for the evening, the Ocean City Md Police were called by a couple to rescue at swimmer.  They were sitting on their balcony and looking through binoculars and noticed a young man far out in the ocean floating on a raft.  It was too far to come in due to the storm Earl who was already stirring up the waves and the under tow.  As we were leaving the beach, 3 police cars were arriving.  We could not see anything because it was getting dark.  The only way you could see him was with the binoculars.  They were in the process of calling the Coast Gaurd.  We did not stay to see him rescued because you could not see anything by this point.  It took hours for the police to leave so I am hoping he was rescued.  How lucky this young man was that someone was watching the Ocean from their balcony probably looking for ships.  Amazing! 

Heading home late tomorrow because Kevin's parents arrive from WI on Thursday.  Luckily I cleaned before heading to the beach.  We are stopping off in Dagsboro Maryland to my favorite quilt shop Serendipity.  I need more Kona Cream Moda for my Dear Jane Quilt.  Here is one I got done at the beach:
