Amylovesfish: Weekend Get-Away!!

A weekend away was just what the doctor ordered! We decided to head to Southern MD and do some exploring.

Our first stop - CHESAPEAKE BEACH, MD

We spent most of the day at Chesapeake Waterpark. It was a lot of fun. Mari and Juan spent most of their time riding the slides while Xavier and I spent our time playing in the swallow part climbing on alligators, crabs and snakes and jumping in and out of the water falls! We all enjoyed relaxing together while riding on the lazy river.

Next Destination: NORTH BEACH, MD

After we got settled into the hotel and took showers we headed out to explore North Beach. It was quaint little town with cute little shops and a great ice cream shop! We walked on the pier and "people watched" and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Next Destination: SOLOMON'S ISLAND, MD

After a good night sleep we headed out to explore Solomon's Island. On our way there we got a flat tire, but we didn't let that stop us. Juan changed it and we are on our way.

Once we reached the island we drove around and enjoyed the scenery and found the Drum Hill Lighthouse. We went inside the light house, which was very interesting.

We are went to Calvert Marine Museum where we saw stingrays, starfish, turtles, crabs and various other fish. The kids also dug for fossils and shark teeth which they thought was very cool. They both found hammerhead sharks teeth that they got to bring home!

After the museum we took a one-hour boat cruise on the Patuxent River on the William B. Tennison that provided great view of Solomon's Island.
