Winter 2010 in Ocean City, Maryland

Posted by: nmeng on February 7, 2010

Since December 2009 the Eastern Shore of Maryland has had more snow than usual.  This LCC is still snowed in by the storm that began on Friday, 2/05/10 or I’d try to get to the beach to take my own video.  Here’s a video taken by someone else in January 2010.  I can’t wait to see what the beach and boardwalk look like this week.

June’s Meeting Kicks Off “Explore the Eastern Shore and More…”

Posted by: nmeng on June 17, 2009

Assateague Island is a Maryland highlight.

Don’t miss the Au Pair Monthly Meeting for June!  We will be kicking off our very own “Explore the Eastern Shore and More” program.  Besides the individual and personal expeditions au pairs make around the area and beyond, this is the chance for our group (and au pairs from any other area, whether they are Cultural Care Au Pairs or not) to plan where they want to go and what they want to see and do as a group for the next year. 

Should we start with a Kayak tour of Assateague Island?  Maybe we should do the annual Bridge Walk across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into Annapolis and visit the U.S. Naval Academy while we are there?  And let’s not forget that about an hour beyond Annapolis lies Washington, DC?  How about a scavenger hunt on the Mall with au pairs from groups around Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia?  Who wants to attend one or more of the wonderful festivals in Baltimore or visit Independence Hall in Philadelphia?  See what I mean? 

What do you have to do?  Check out the following:

• Make a list of all the places on the Eastern Shore and in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, you would like to see as well as activities you’d like to do. If you haven’t got a list already, then do a little research online or elsewhere to decide.
• Pick the top three that you’d like to do as a group with other au pairs
• Talk to your host families about dates or schedule commitments that you need to consider for the next 3-6 months so that we can choose dates that work for as many as possible. 
• Come prepared to make some decisions!

This month’s meeting will be at my home (131 Watertown Road, Berlin, MD) at 2:30 p.m.  There will be a make-up meeting on Thursday evening, June 25, at 7:00 p.m. for anyone who can’t make Saturday’s meeting and anyone else who wants to just drop by.

Remember all au pairs are welcome, whether they are in our group or even from other au pair companies!  Just let me know you’re coming.
