You Don't Even Know...

Beach Day

Alright so I went to the beach the other day and....I'd like to tell you guys about it! So we went to the beach to do something different for Father's Day weekend, rather than go to the movies and/or bowling.

So the beach we usually go to is at Ocean City, Maryland (USA), and we've been going there since I was a younger child. If you ask me, I prefer that beach over Seaside Heights at New Jersey (no offense to those fans).

Our day started with packing and such, and then we were off to hit the road. We usually head to McDonald's for breakfast, which we did, and I was a little deterred on what to eat. Their Hot Cakes were my last thought, I wasn't really feeling anything with syrup....in fact, I craved more for orange juice than I did the food....

Anyway, I was planning to have whatever Dad was having, or whatever Mom suggested to me first. Dad decided to have that Steak and Egg Sandwich thing, on a bagel, and mom....I forgot. But as we passed the window to find parking, I saw the Steak and Egg Burritos, and they were 2 for $3, which really isn't that bad....$1.50 per burrito, and boy did they look good...at least on the window it did, with the steak and....Mmm.

So we went in, we ordered, my siblings and I sat down, and waited for Mom and Dad to bring the food. When the food came, they began distributing the food. I then heard a chuckle from Dad, saying "That's sad!"
I wondered what he was talking about, as he handed me the two burritos. I didn't actually want two, since McDonald's Burritos are big...at least the one I ate almost a decade ago...

I look to my breakfast, and I see two, flimsy, slightly taller than a Wii Remote, "burritos"...2 for $3 makes sense now.

I smile at this, debating if I will say yes to Mom's offer of another burrito, and then I say no, because I know we have a long day ahead of us, which includes, Toll Booths, parking fees, more Toll Booths, lunch, and dinner. And hey, at least they got my orange juice!

Not caring of the situation, I still gratefully eat the burritos. I start on my first, and on my first bite, I see cheese. Cheese. I love cheese, really I do. But I was expecting more Steak and Egg too. The window was loaded with those two, you could even see the green peppers...and the cheese.

Nope. There was a load of cheese, like Hot Pocket loaded, and little niblets of steak and eggs with like 3 pepper dices. You know what, at this point, I didn't care, I was too hungry, and plus, I've had worse, so as I'd usually do, I ate them both. Still sorta hungry, my sister left her hash brown (which she asked for) and so I ate that too, which surprisingly helped hit the spot. Now  I don't know if she left it on purpose, or she was doing her, "ask-and-not eat thing"....whatever it was, I benefited, and I thank her!

After McDonald's, we hit the road again....oh did I mention we took my Mom's car? Sorry Mom, your car is cool, but it's so uncomfortable to sleep in...it's just not Beach Trip material. Why am I apologizing? You agreed too! So, I pretty much stood awake for most of the ride, long enough to see the gas tank empty little-by-little, struggle on to find a gas station before we got stranded (we were literally on one bar for a good 15-20 minutes), and continue on our journey.

I remember weeks before Mom said she would have liked to gone to  Virginia Beach, which sounded nice, but it was far. So being awake, the ride felt longer, and I didn't recognize any of the routes taken to Maryland Beach....as cool as something different sounded, I was set on going to Ocean City, hands down. Until I realized we started approaching the Rehoboth Area....

Again no offense to the fans of that beach, but Sweet Christmas that was the worst beach I have ever went to. And it was a mutual family agreement on this one too, like, we will never go there again. Not only did I get a bad impression of the sickeningly cold water (probably a bad day though), but the beach itself...was horrendous. Literally, everywhere you step, was a seashell. Everywhere. Hot sand, hot seashells, followed by rocks, seaweed, cigarette buds, and rarely some miscellaneous trash. I'm not exaggerating though, these things literally blanketed the beach. Might as well have walked on Legos! I hate Rehoboth Beach and I'm sorry to those who don't! The only thing that was good about that beach was the rock collecting I did there...had some nice rocks, I still have them.
