We have a long-standing tradition every year to go to Ocean City for boys
weekend at the beach. During this weekend we work a little by going to the Ocean
City Car & Truck show at the convention center.
This year, boys weekend only consisted of Duval and myself because
everyone else backed out...but we made the best out of it. Every year we go down
to the beach and plan for rain, but this year was one of the first years I have been to
the beach that it didn’t rain!!!
Friday night we got to Ocean City and checked into our hotel with the monkey
on the front of it and got ready to go do a little boozing. When we made it to the 4 In
One club, we realized that we didn’t need friends, we would make our own. Here we
met Juan and Squirrel. Let’s just say these guys were very interesting. Throughout the
night we met at least ten other people that I can’t recall, but what do you do? Duval
found a new way to get rid of his business cards too...by giving them out to
bachelorettes.
After a 3:00 am stroll on the boardwalk, we passed out so we could actually
get up for the show on Saturday. When we got to the show, we met up with some of
our friends - like Dave fro WR and Ernie from Konig Wheels. The show was really
good with tons of quality rides.
After the show, we went back to the hotel and got ready to go to Seacrets.
Everybody knows that the only mode of transportation in Ocean City for drinking is to
take the drunk bus. But, during senior week, it’s not such a great idea! In the end, we
walked 30 blocks...this sucked. My goal for the night was to get Duval some
ladies...well, he needed to meet me half way...and he didn’t.
Ocean City is a great place though, because you make all kinds of friends and
this night was no exception. We chilled with Jackie & her friends and in the end we got
a little drunk again, but that is what the beach is about, right? On the way home from
Seacrets we did get to ride on the drunk bus - but there weren’t only drunks on our
route and drunk bus ended up being almost as fun as the club! There were some
great singers on the bus, let me tell ya...
The next morning, we got up and made the four hour trip home. So, if you put
a car show, a beach, hot chicks, and great bars together, you really never can go
wrong, can you? You can join us at boys weekend next year the weekend of June
