Ocean City Treasures & Beachfront Vacation

September 14-17 3 Nights at Doubletree Hilton Oceanfront!

-

The sun and surf of Ocean City, Maryland, have been attracting visitors since Algonquian tribes first came to the beaches to fish and sun themselves. Due to OCs isolation as a barrier island, the town remained a sleepy fishing village until the late 1800’s when heroes took up residence as the ancestor of today’s Coast Guard was establishe­d here. In 1900, the wooden Boardwalk was added – (Fun Fact: Originally the boards were all taken up in the winter and stored ‘til spring - Wow!). With the building of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the 60’s, in a few short years OC became the favorite resort for visitors from all over the eastern seaboard. Today, Ocean City stretches along 10 miles of beautiful beach from the Inlet to the Delaware state line, and the Boardwalk offers nearly 3 miles of food, games and shopping. The weather this time of year is perfect, as the crowds have disappeare­d, and the water is still warm. There’s no better time to visit the ocean! ~~ Look what all this carefree adventure holds: Lovely oceanfront hotel with a balcony, microwave and ‘fridge in every room plus 3 pools, a whirlpool, and breakfast each morning * An educationa­l Eco-Cruise around beautiful Assawoman Bay * Guided tour of Assateague Island’s famous “Wild Ponies” – great photo ops! * The Discoverse­a Shipwreck Museum * Browsing in Quaint Berlin * Seashell City * The Salted Vines Vineyard * Upscale Magic Experience at the Dickens Parlour Theater * Dinner in a Vintage Train Car, Another at Embers Seafood Buffet, and One at Harbor Watch * Free Time at the Hotel, Boardwalk & Beach to enjoy as you wish * A picturesqu­e, relaxing trip that’s especially fun with friends – call for some extra flyers to pass around!! * $898 p/p, double occ * $838 p/p, triple or quad occ * $1,238 single
