Exploring Crisfield, MD

  Yesterday Michael and I went to Crisfield for their annual Freedom Fest. We heard about the festival on Facebook and thought we'd give it a try. The event itself was pretty small but quite cozy. There were a few local craft vendors and food trucks as well as live entertainment. After spending some time at the festival we decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather and to explore more of Crisfield and walk around the marina. 

Crisfield is a tiny town of less than 3,000 people and is apparently known as the "Seafood Capital of the World". You can definitely tell that its citizens are very proud of that title as all the street signs have a picture of crabs on them and they use seashell decorations for street walls.

  Since Crisfield is so proud of their crabs we though it'd only be appropriate to have something crabby. The food at the festival didn't include any seafood so we walked along the Main St until we came across a cute little restaurant called Watermen's Inn ( until we got home I totally thought it was called Watermelons, yup ). We were not very hungry so we both only ordered a bowl Maryland Crab Soup and it was very yummy! I've only had Maryland Crab Soup a couple times before and this one was the best one yet! It had the right amount of spice and soo much crab meat! Well done Watermen's Inn! They also had lots of amazing cakes (including Smith Island). Unfortunately we didn't get any dessert but if we ever find ourseles in Crisfield again we definitely will!

While walking along the Main St we noticed so many adorable buildings and, of course, I couldn't help but get my pictures taken next to them (gotta keep my Instagram updated). Poor Michael had to take so many because I'm always unhappy with the way I look but I think he did a pretty good job with them.

Another cool thing that happened while we were walking around the marina was that this cute dragonfly landed on Michael's hand and just stayed there. We even took him for a walk with us. Michael named him David by the way. :)

We enjoyed spending time in Crisfield and exploring more of the Shore this weekend. It's a very cozy and welcoming little fishing town that's worth visiting at least once and you'll probabably come back for more! I hope you have a great 4th of July and eat lots tasty food! Michael promised me burgers. Can't wait! xo

Hebron Carnival

  Yesterday Michael and I went to the Hebron Carnival in Hebron, MD. We really didn't know what to expect so we went with an open mind. I have never been to an American carnival before and was very excited to go especially since it is for a very good cause. I was actually unaware of the fact that many fire departments around the area where we live and I suspect across the US are volunteer and in order to make some money they organize different events such as carnivals. We were sure it was going to be a very small family event but were very surprised when we saw a big crowd of people. 

 First thing we noticed were the lines to the rides that at first made us less excited about the rides. However once we were in line the wait actually wasn't very bad and it only took about 10 minutes to get to the front. We have to admit the rides are a little bit pricey but you can get a $14 unlimited pass for all the rides that is absolutely worth it if you wanna take more than a couple rides. Michael and I only rode one of them since he's not the biggest fan of spinning and flipping too fast. Nevertheless, I convinced him to go on a Scrambler which was sooooo much fun. I laughed and screamed so much Michael thought i was going crazy. Next time we will definitely get on more rides. I recon Tilt-a-Whirl will be one of them. The carnival also has a lot to offer to food lovers, they sell everything from frozen chocolate bananas to their famous oyster sandwiches. We had just had dinner so we weren't very hungry. I did, however, got a bag of caramel pop corn. It was DELICIOUS! 

  Our favorite part of the carnival was definitely playing a Cake Game. You pick a number 1-60, put 50 cents on that number and then the lady spins the wheel and you are hoping it's your number. Unfortunately we didn't win anything but had a lot of fun playing anyway.

  Hebron Carnival is definitely an event worth visiting this summer with your family and friends and we're hoping to go back before its 2016 season is over. Hope you will too!

Splash Mountiain

Last week Me and Michael went to a water park in Ocean City MD. It was what I called "my birthday week" and we had to do something fun every day leading up to my birthday and after it. Michael wasn't very fond of the "birthday week" idea I must mention haha. Anyway, we had the most amazing and fun day at Jolly Roger's Splash Mountain. The only drawback is the fact that we forgot to reapply sunscreen lotion throughout the day. Yup. We got burnt! Nevertheless it was a day filled with so much laughter and happy screams. We definitely created some new memories that we won't forget for a while. I'm talking about you, AquaLoop. 
We are definitely going to back soon!
