Vacation - Day 5

On Wednesday, we decided we needed to check out what Ocean City, MD, is all about. We learned it's all about tourism and other stuff we're only marginally interested in.... but hey, we saw it once, and we'll skip it next time.



We walked down the boardwalk together and popped into the shops that interested us.

Amelia got LOTS of attention from the sea gulls while she was eating her mid-morning snack:



We bought a few souvenirs, and Amelia picked out a lovely fish wind-sock (to be seen in a later post).

We had a kind of "so-so" lunch. I guess in a town that is aimed so much at tourists, even a local's recommendation may not meet your usual standards.

But Amelia enjoyed the music, view and the food:


When we got back to Dewey, it was raining, so the beach was out of the question. So we went to a few of the shops at the local outlet mall.

After dinner, we headed back to Rehoboth to walk around. We discovered a wonderful taste sensation - Annie's Banannies!! This was Chris's dream. It had the complete consistency of ice cream, but was totally made from bananas, so thus it was non-dairy. We went back 2 more times before we left the area, because it was that good. Chris has been trying to re-create it, now that we're home, and I have to say - he's pretty close!
