Tony Breaks Down Leaving Ocean City

Tony Breaks Down Leaving Ocean City

Enzo

The Vassallo clan spent Memorial Day weekend 2015 in Ocean City, cleaning the house, organizing the garage and getting the house ready for another summer season.

Tony and Enzo had a blast, with Enzo enjoying the breeze as he sit and lay in his Pack N’ Play near the open front deck door. Tony played with toys he hadn’t seen in a year and talked to all of the neighbors. Tony even got to help Miss Charlotte and Mr. Glen, our neighbors, walk their golden retrievers, Ruby and Murphy.

Doo Dah Parade

The 30th Annual Doo Dah Parade was held this past weekend in Ocean City and Tony and Enzo got to enjoy every minute of it.

The Doo Dah Parade includes floats, classic cars, bands, Santa Claus, grand marshal Mama Dietz (owner of Dietz and Watson) and hundreds of basset hounds. 

We went to the parade last year, obviously with just Tony, so this year was fun since Enzo was with us. He sat up in his stroller and watched as the floats and the dogs strolled down the boards.

Happy Easter Tony and Enzo

Sunday was Easter, as almost everyone in the world knows, but it still helps to write that down as part of the story.

Tony and Enzo wore matching outfits and the boys behaved while in church.

It was a day filled with jelly beans, chocolate and a lot of food.

We had brunch at great Mom-Mom’s house after church, where Tony and Enzo each received Easter baskets filled with candy.

Wednesday night began pretty inauspiciously. We loaded the boys in the car and went to Smitty’s Clam Bar in Somers Point for dinner. It was our first visit to our favorite seafood spot at the shore all summer. 

The wait was not long for a table, just 30 minutes, so we took Tony to the back of the property to look at all the boats on the bay. We enjoyed the breeze and were called inside after just 15 minutes. 

This was Enzo’s first visit to the Clam Bar, but I don’t know if we can count it as an official one since his eyes were closed the entire time we were there. The food was spectacular as usual and after we finished, we loaded the boys in the car once again and started towards the Ocean City boardwalk.

On Saturday night, of Labor Day weekend, we went to the Ocean City boardwalk so Tony could do the rides with his uncles. 

Uncle Jimmie, Uncle Kevin and Uncle Chris all wanted to see their nephew enjoy the rides while also doing them with him. We brought Enzo along for the ride and he stayed awake for a little while before finally falling into a deep sleep despite all of the noise and lights.

We began the night with Tony flying a helicopter with Grandmom. Then, we headed over to the train so he could ride with Uncle Kevin, Uncle Chris and Dina.

After the train, Tony rode the Beach Buggy’s with Uncle Jimmie, Uncle Chris and Dina. He smiled on every ride and finished the night by going on the merry-go-round with his favorite girl, Mommy.
