It was a crazy day. Rained all the way from Fairfax to OC. The sun came out soon after I arrived about 3:00 PM so we hit the beach. NOT. Within one hour we had a severe thunderstorm. The rest of the day alternated between sun and thunderstorms. We were under tornado warnings until about 9:00 PM. Tomorrow is supposed to be better.
It has been many years since I have been to OC. Happily some things haven't changed: Trimpers Amusement Park (will do a separate post on Trimpers), Thrashers Fries, Bull on the Beach, Phillips Crab House, Candy Kitchen, the Doughroller, Dumsers Ice Cream Parlors, etc. The clerk at my hotel said the locals preferred Cravens Pit Beef instead of Bull on the Beach for beef and BBQ. I tried it – their beef sandwich was about what I remembered from Bull on the Beach.
Tip for my Fairfax friends heading for OC: Try the Harris Crab House, 433 Kent Narrows Way N, Grasonville, MD. It is about half way to OC and about 10 miles after you cross the bay bridge. It serves all the regular seafood entrees, with an emphasis on blue crab of course. The second floor dining room looks onto the water where you can see the bay bridge and fishing boats crossing paths with luxury yachts that frequently dock at the restaurant.
