About Me: I have been coming to Ocean City for my whole life since I was less than one year old. I chose my college just to be close to the beach as well as living down here while at college and during the summers. My whole family loves the beach. My kids also have turned into little beach bums and for this I am proud!

Times Visited Ocean City: 45+ days a year

What do you love about Ocean City: The beach, sunny days, warm sea breezes, reading, relaxing, enjoying God's creation, letting the waves and water wash away all stress and anxiety, eating, strolling the boards, building sand castles with my son and daughter, fishing, seashell hunts on the beach, etc. The seashore is like medicine. It takes all your stress away. From the cleansing affect of the ocean to the gentle sea breezes and warm sand below your feet. Top it off with a stroll down the world famous boardwalk!
