We head back to Ocean City MD Boardwalk. It seems only fair that we give the place another try in more hospitable weather.  It is a bright and sunny Saturday.  There are more people to watch, skateboards to dodge, noise drifts from the arcades, the carnival rides are running, and many more shops and food stands open.

We find the Carousel, a1903 Herschel menagerie. I rode the ostrich.

The old lifesaving station now houses a pretty good museum. It’s hard to believe all the people saved with the equipment they had available.  Those guys were crazy brave.

Entirely unrelated to life saving, the museum houses Crazy Sal, a larger than life mannequin with a truly maniacal laugh. She was rescued from some long defunct funhouse along the boardwalk.  Very creepy.

As we stroll past Dollies, the heavy sweet smell of fresh caramel corn beckons me. I can not resist.  I tell the gal she needn’t seal up the bag, so true.  It is fantastic and before long is all gone.  We get pulled in at Thrashers too.

Mammoth kites float above the north end of the beach. Hilariously cute ground kites, crabs, are tethered to sand bags and dance along the sand like live creatures when the wind blows.  A bit further along, music is blaring so we go to check it out.  It is a stunt kite competition.  Choreographed much like a gymnast’s floor routine the handler adriotly maneuvers the kite in square turns, spirals, sweeps and amazing ballet-like soft touch and go landings.  Judges score them.  I haven’t a clue what the criteria might be.

It is 90F and the sun is blazing. We pack up our slightly sunburned selves and head home.  This could be a fun place to hang out with a group of friends for a few.
