We’ll update more when we have more fun tales to share. Today was just driving; the most interesting thing we saw was a bowl of Halloween candy at our hotel’s front desk.

Greetings from Ocean City! We’ve had a really nice week here as part of the annual Ambrose family vacation, and now we’re starting to look ahead to properly beginning our road trip! Before I get to that, though, let me share some highlights from our week:

The ocean this week has been crazy! I don’t know if it’s related to tropical storm season or what, but the waves have been really strong and tall and they’ve been breaking super close to shore. One of them tossed Brian on his head — ouch! I’ll let him fill you in on the details… Also, we both got sunburned, but not too badly.

We didn’t end up going to Delaware on our way over after all, but we went yesterday so we could go to the DMV. Why did we go to the Delaware DMV, you ask? So we could get this:

Now we have an EZ PASS! We won’t need it too much for this cross-country trip, but in October when we head up to New England, it’s going to be awesome. Totally worth an hour in the Sussex County DMV.

In addition to Delaware, we’ve also had excursions to Assateague Island (where, somehow, we did not see a single pony! ) and to Salty Yarns (not technically an excursion, I guess) where I bought a learn-to-crochet kit so I can (ultimately) make this:

and these:

Awesome.

By the way, omg:

I’ll write a post later on our packing situation!

Check back soon for more updates!
