Or so we thought it would just be another beach day in Ocean City. This time we went with some friends and while we were on the beach we felt something funny. I at first thought it was another dizzy spell but when I asked my friend she thought she was dizzy. When we started talking with the other people at the beach someone grabbed his smart phone and come to find out it was really the earth shaking. A 5.8 earthquake in Virginia that we could feel here in NJ. We pulled the kids out of the water for a while in case there were any monster waves as a result (we didn't notice any major changes but the tide was high so maybe it was what we blamed the higher waves on). It didn't last that long but having experienced it once I think that's enough for this lifetime. It was strange while it was shaking but then to find out it was an earthquake made it surreal.
Despite the earthquake, I was still out taking pictures. Here are a bunch from our day. After the day on the beach we got cleaned up and went up to the Boardwalk to ride some rides, do some shopping and grab some dinner. Then it was back to the beach to catch some pictures of the kids on the deserted beach. Less than two weeks and we'll be back to school. We are going to try to squeeze in another trip or two to the beach before Labor Day weekend but a lot of it will depend on Hurricane Irene. It is expected to be here the beginning of next week. What a way to end the summer.....earthquake and hurricane!!!!
