Rain Date

So after taking yesterday as a day off for both my son drenched skin as well as my slightly blistered feet, I got up early and was at the waters edge by 6 AM. However, I should have checked the weather report before I venture down as we are facing a few hours of rain and storms.

Me and the sunrise

I wasn't even sure if we would still be here in Ocean City today. Yesterday Michael was a very very ill and had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. We never got a clear diagnosis of what was causing his severe abdominal pain but it ranges from possible gallstones to a bowel obstruction. Whatever it is or was it pretty much ate up all of yesterday.

We did make it back to the room late last night after about six hours in the ER. He was doing much better when I went to bed around 10 PM last night and as it is only 6:30 in the morning he has not gotten up yet.

So I'm enjoying another nice sunrise on the beach wondering what will happen next.

150 FEET of buffet!

Wow!

Today on Assateague Island...

Mr. Munch...

...is my first mooch of the day. It's only 7:07am and it is already roasting hot. Water is deliciously warm. So far I have the plage all to myself, save for a few rotund wanderers and Mr. Munch, of course.

Doing the beach thing...

First morning

I was up and on the beach by 6:11 AM. Already took a dunk in the surf. Now I'm watching the rising Sun. It's already 75°!
