[quote=Anonymous]we like the Holiday Inn and Suites, Ocean City MD at 17th st.  After several years- here is what works for us.
1. get up in the morning, and eat breakfast in the room.  6. 
2. Get in bathing suits, sunscreen kids.  
3. Go to the beach, don't bother to take chairs b/c kids need more attention than that.  Only take towels, a beach blanket, a water bottle for everyone, some sand toys.  Do not expect this to be relaxing, focused on kids.
4. When we start to wear out/ kids get hungry, etc- come back to room (when kids were really little like yours this would often be at 11am, now we make it until 1 or later).  Use outside foot rinsers on way up from beach to get visible sand.
5. Upon arrival at room one parent throws all kids together into the big whirlpool bath and the other parent gets lunch ready (again from stuff in the room- the holiday inn and suites has a kitchenette.)
6. eat lunch, and put kids down for naps.
7. during naps, parents sit and relax on oceanfront balcony.
8. after naps, go to the hotel activity pool- super fun, but no sand to deal with.
9. eat an early dinner out.
