Vacations are a time for people to relax. A time to share each others lives and sometimes it’s a time to just be still. Here are some of those moments.
I give you The People of the Crest Beach.
I can’t help it…I love it in Wildwood Crest. I can’t wait until next year to see some of these same faces and maybe some new ones.
Until then…I will be dreaming of seeing this sign as I enter my Happy Place away from home.
One of my favorite things about the beach is the people watching. Some are funny, some make me shake my head and others are just interesting.
These are the people who work the beach. Ice Cream girl doesn’t get the credit she deserves. She pushes this cart of tasty treats back and forth across the beach every day. Hot or drizzling she’s there to furnish us all with tasty treats. I salute you Ice Cream Girl!
These are the people who rescue us in rip tides. They save us from cut feet from broken shells and they watch over us while we swim in dolphin infested waters. It’s not an easy job or one that people appreciate until, well, until you are drowning. Here is a shout out to all of the Wildwood Crest’s version of Baywatch! You do it CJ and Mitch Buchananish Lifeguards!
Here is to the guy who never gets and credit at all. This kid provides your rented equipment so you don’t have to schlep it to the beach. Umbrellas, Chairs and the like are all provided by this guy. Also, he collects them all from the beach before his shift is over at 5pm.
You do it Umbrella Patrol guy! Thanks for the shade!
I jest, but to be honest these folks provide to all the tourist the comforts of the beach. They provide food, equipment and most importantly…peace of mind knowing they are looking out for us up there on the stand! Thank you all!
When I was a child I went to the Jersey Shore with my family. We had a lot of fun but I always got sunburned. As an adult, the Shore lost its appeal. Sunburn kind of turned my taste to the beach sour.
Then I married a woman who LOVES the Shore. She introduced me to this area of the Jersey Shore called Wildwood Crest. It was congested like Ocean City or Wildwood. I loved it right away. She bought me “magic shoes” for my feet so I could splash around in the waves without freaking out something touched me.
It’s a beautiful place. It has so much more to offer than just the ocean and beach.
The people are friendly, the nature is exquisite and the town is quiet.
There is also history in this little town. Some of it incredibly sad.
Some of it part of the building of our Country.
I love this place. It makes me happy to go here every year. That is a great thing.
We went to see Wicked last night and it was phenomenal!!!
This is my third time seeing this wonderful Musical. Our seats were so close to the stage. The best seat I’ve ever had for anything, lol!
I really have to thank my wife for having a Birthday and wanting tickets to see this show! Thank you love!
We decided to celebrate Christmas in July this year.
We went to Byers Choice and the National Christmas Center.
Byers Choice had lots of places to take photos beyond the exhibits. This was a dress up area with costumes and a Christmas background to take pictures in your dress up 🙂
It was so hot that Byers Choice had the local fire department come out with the hose to cool the kiddies down.
It was such a fun time. I got to see so many of my favorite beings (elves) and relive a little bit of my childhood 🙂
On July 2, we visited the Keith House and Graeme Park.
Since the Declaration of Independence was actually made on July 2, 1776 it seemed like a good thing to do visiting a part of Colonial History 🙂
It was hot and humid but was worth the visit. The Keith House housed both American and British troops during the War of Independence. A lot of History passed the grounds of Graeme Park.
On July 4th I hung out with the Puppy and got our Patriotic look on!
Fireworks, bbq, family and friends…it was a great long weekend!
This weekend we were took time to visit Air Victory Museum. It was fun. it’s a small Museum in Lumberton, NJ. Totally worth the visit.
After our visit I used Trip Advisor to find a good place to have lunch. John and Molly’s was rate #1 for the area.
It didn’t disappoint. The portions were huge. The food was good and best of all they had French Onion Soup on the menu.
This FOS was super tasty. I’m always excited when I see a place has prime rib on the menu because they tend to have the best FOS. This soup was super awesome! I was prepared to move it to the #1 FOS I’ve ever had. I now think it’s tied for # with the Rio Station in Wildwood, NJ.
Check out John & Molly’s for some tasty foods!
