The Beach Can Be Fun In November

And I don't mean in the Carribean or somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

Last weekend we met up with Peter, Marcie, Christopher and Caroline for a long weekend in Ocean City, Maryland. We had been looking for a chance to get together with them, and finally meet Caroline. With our kids off from school on Thursday and Friday, we thought that would be the perfect time to meet the Raleigh Grafs "halfway" for a visit.

The weather was even worse than you might expect for November, with pretty much constant clouds, fog, rain and wind until (of course) we were leaving on Sunday (see picture, above right). But Ocean City is a pretty good place to be if the weather does not cooperate. The place we stayed had a nice indoor pool with two ping pong tables on the deck, so we spent plenty of time there relaxing and swimming . . . and David even taught Peter a thing or two about ping pong. We also found an indoor miniature golf course, got decadent donuts from the Fractured Prune, and had a nice dinner at Mancini's in Fenwick Island. The good thing about the weather is it kept us indoors for a lot of quality visiting with Peter and Marcie, and among the cousins.

Look here for pictures.
