About Me: I have a wonderful life. I am married to a hardworking man who is a loving husband and father. We have two great kids, a son 26 and a daughter 13. I am a preschool teacher. My job is rewarding in so many ways and I love it! I am active in my community serving on the Board of Directors of my local public Library. I also sing in my church choir with a great group of people. In my free time I enjoy flea market and yard sales, reading and crafting. We are the proud owners of a 20' Ebbtide Catalina Cuddy boat and enjoy trailering it to many destinations on the Chesapeake Bay. But our favorite place to boat is Ocean City. We have spent many happy hours cruising, picnicing, fishing, crabbing and clamming on the Sinepuxent Bay and look forward to many more.
Times Visited Ocean City: 80+
What do you love about Ocean City: It is 6 am, the car is packed to the roof, the kids are asleep in the back seat, the sun is just coming up and I know that tomorrow I be watching the sunrise on the beach! I love the traditions we have established; Fractured Prune donuts, lunch at Fish Tales, dinner at Phillips Crabhouse (notice we like to eat!) ice cream from Dumsers, fudge from Wockenfuss, Thrasher's Fries and Fishers Popcorn! Sunrise on the beach, sunsets on the bay, picnics on Assateague Island, crabbing on Herring Creek and clamming on the sandbar by the drawbridge. An early-morning bike ride on the boards, a spin on the antique Trimper's carousel, and Ski Ball at Sportland. A round of golf at Eagle’s Landing, go-karting at Speed World, shopping at the surf shops and a fun night of horse racing action at Ocean Downs. It is hard to fit it all in but we sure love to try!

Q: Looking for an affordable vacation place for the week of July 23 for myself and my two kids. Any suggestions.
A:
Since July 23 is a Monday, I assume you are looking for a mini-week.
There are quite a few condo's that offer this option. Check in on Monday after 3 pm and check out Friday by 11 am. My fellow Insiders gave you a good list of realtors. My favorite is Long and Foster, wwwlfvacations.com. If you cannot find something online, call and ask for rental coordinator Kathy Feldman. She will be happy to help you find a unit to meet your price and other requirements.

A:
My personal favs are:
The Kitchen on Wicomoco St. The best fresh squeezed oj in OC.
Laytons on 16th. Great coffee and donuts.
Malia's Cafe in the Spinnaker Hotel on 18th. Their fresh fruit cup is hard to beat.

Fractured Prune on 28th St. Fresh, hot made-to-order donuts. Love 'em!
The best breakfast buffet in town is The Horizons Restaurant in the Clarion Hotel on 101st St. They ave everything you could possibly want. The waffles and the cheese blintzes with warm blueberry compote are fantastic.
