PA Youth Chorale Day tour-Ocean City, NJ

Shayna had her day tour with the Pennsylvania Youth Chorale yesterday. They went to Ocean City, NJ to perform at St. John's Lutheran Church with the young cape singers. Manny, Skyler and I drove down to see the concert (which was at 1:15pm) and then meet up with Shayna at 5:30pm (after the concert they go with chaperones and go to the boardwalk). I dropped Shayna off at the bus at 8:45am. They got to ride in fancy tour buses.

Here is the Junior Choir performing. Shayna is on the bottom row, 2nd from right:

After the concert Manny, Skyler and I walked around. First we went to a block party/arts festival on Asbury Ave. It was about 8 blocks long! We ordered Skyler a personalized clock for his room and bought a Corian cutting board.

After walking through the entire art festival, we went to the boardwalk. Here we rested our feet and enjoyed the view and sun while Skyler got to run around.

After walking around on the boardwalk and grabbing a salad we went to 8th and the Boardwalk to meet Shayna at the bus. She was going home with us.

Once Shayna joined us we shopped some more (almost all the shops had tables outside and sales) and discovered Castaway Cove (rides) at 12th street was closed. I said we have to go onto the beach* so we explored the jetty at 7th street. The sun was setting so it was very pretty.

After the sun set we completed the perfect ocean city day by getting pizza at the famous Mack & Manco's. Wonderland at 4th St. was open for rides but the pizza took so long that it was getting too late and we still had to drive home.

We decided instead of the zoo (we will go in september instead) or sesame place (too overpriced) we would come back here for mother's day and go to the beach at 5th street...Manny will fish (a small jetty is right there) while we sit on the beach. We found a great place called hula grill on the boardwalk that has fresh fish that we plan to go to and will take the kids on the rides.

*I can't go to the shore and not go on the beach
