Chill'n in the MD

When Julibean and I realized the only weekend that Jaclyn's bachelorette party could be planned was Labor Day Weekend we really had to change our plans around. Originally we were going to head down to Delaware to Chris' beach house and spend a nice relaxing weekend in Ocean City with our men.

Have I mentioned lately that we're both in long distance relationships with our menfolk?

Yeah. So having to postpone the trip for an extra week was slightly annoying but we decided to take one for the team and change our plans to accommodate the other bridesmaids/friends schedules.

Anyway Jason came up from VA to meet us Friday night and we enjoyed a fine home-cooked meal of fettuccine alfredo (my absolute favorite pasta dish EVER). Andy definitely did it up right and it was seriously yummy.


The next morning after two of us (who shall remain nameless) stupidly almost got swept out to sea when they didn't think the current was too bad and thought it was okay to go out further and further...we sat around safe on land reading tabloids and making sand castles.

Or in Cynthia's case, sand boobies.

Jason hadn't been to the beach in years so he paddled around for a little longer than the rest of us. He's just so adorable sometimes.

Eventually the sun disappeared and we hopped over to Rosie's to find some board games. Yes, we love board games that much and decided since we left all of ours at home accidentally we needed to go out and buy one or two just to leave at the beach.

Long story short, we walked out with a ghetto off-brand Jenga and a Barrel O' Monkeys kind of game. Once we got back to the beach house, treasures in tow, we decided the ghetto Jenga would be a perfect set to create drunk Jenga out of. As we wrote all the instructions on the blocks, the boys entertained themselves hooking monkeys onto the chandelier.

If you're unfamiliar with drunk Jenga it's basically a game where things like, Drink 1, Drink 2, Motorboat the person to your left, Remove 2 articles of clothing, etc. are written on the tiles and as you play Jenga you do whatever the tile commands. If you knock over the tower you lose and you have to finish your drink. Most of the tiles are simple enough and they can be as dirty or as PG as you want them to be. Apparently the last set they had at school said things like, Eat an English Muffin, and random things like that.

My favorite tile was probably the one that said, If you do not already have a mustache, hold your finger over your lip like one for the rest of the game.

Ridiculous? Yes. But fun as all get up!

At some point we actually got the boys to sit down and watch The Sound of Music because none of them had ever seen it and because yes, we like to torture our men from time to time. But, it counts towards one of my 101 in 1001 since Jason actually sat through it!

For our last morning we went to Big Pecker's. So totally delicious and they have the same biscuits as Brass Balls down on the boardwalk but they are conveniently on the strip away from lots of people. Must have when in OC, the biscuits!
