this weekend's weather was wonderful so we did one of our favorite things and visited Ocean City, NJ. our kids are such bad car riders that i always question the sanity of our decision making during that 1hr 20min drive down the shore but once we're there it's magical (and probably worth it). i dream of this often, and think maybe it's in our future but what we really need to do is rent a place nearby for a week every summer. i think that would solve our little problem.
it might as well of been the middle of July because it was so packed! everything was open and there were lots of people in the water. crazies! the kids just loved the beach. they did really well only getting their feet wet until one wave came a little too fast and knocked 'em off their feet. Camo was mostly dry as i was holding his hand
and and kept him from falling. Mayden on the other hand got really wet! after some beach time we walked the boards, got some pizza, played some arcade games and headed home with very tired kids. if you'd like to see more pictures of our day click here.
below is a little video of Cameron trying to out run the waves. he did this over and over and over....
I'm here to tell you, it's worth the drive. I live about 15 minutes away from the Pacific ocean but, thanks to all of my childhood memories, I'd take the Jersey Shore any day. No matter where I am, it's my happy place. You really should find a way to rent a place for a week; it's such a wonderful thing to give your kids.
cass-- he was totally worried, but couldn't help himself. he was drawn to the waves...you should have seen the look of relief on his face when i finally scooped him up. this summer should be fun!
becky-- we actually did just decided to make that week at OC a sure thing. i found a relatively cheap place that is in a GREAT spot! i'm so excited!!
