This past weekend, I took my niece and her boyfriend to the boardwalk in Ocean City. It was a packed Saturday night and there was no lack of entertainment - sanctioned or otherwise!
We saw this guy (I'm calling him the Gold Squeaky Man): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQfskOu9gUE , which was really funny. We also saw the Boardwalk Bagpiper (which was more entertaining when a couple of young girls starting Irish Step Dancing in front of him), lots of un-official Disney characters hanging around for photos for tips, Batman's Joker (also un-official), a violinist, a DJ, and countless people dressed in clothing that was waaaaayyy too small for their bodies!
I finally got to go in to the Haunted House and was not disappointed - nothing about it has changed since I was 12 years old!
We played a couple of games and lost some money. We stopped for fudge and ice cream. We were able to get a good parking space at the inlet lot and didn't have any trouble leaving (this time).
Honestly - you don't need to take a lot of money with you to the boards to get an evening full of entertainment. For the price of parking, you can sit and people-watch or just check out the ridiculous t-shirts hanging in any of the boardwalk shirt shops and have a blast.
I've been having such a good time stopping by the boards this summer. I now know the meaning of T.H.O.T. and was able to eat a Fractured Prune doughnut "after-hours". Life is sooo good!
