Its nice to be back "on the air!" Maybe you noticed that I was away for the past two weekends. I was "down the shore!" Come on along!

Saturday to Saturday, I was doing as Governor Christie advised...spending some leisure time (and money) at the Jersey Shore!

We only had two brief showers the whole week...followed by lots of sun! So, I had a lot of outdoor time!

I walked the Ocean City boardwalk end to end several times...soaking up the sun, and checking out the sites...the shops...and the people!

I did respectably at neon miniature golf...and rode a few rides...

The view from the top of the Ferris Wheel...all the lights...all the neon...is really cool! Sadly, no "night photo" does it justice. But, I do have to wonder...

...whats up with the giraffe UNDER the Ferris wheel? But, I digress.

And, I PASSED on this ride...but my friends went on...and (even though it was dark), they all looked a little "green" afterwards!

I'm not so good at the "spinning" rides anymore. And, I (used to) love them!

So much to see and do!

Unlike our seagull friend, I enjoyed the ice cream...curly's fries...pizza...and more!

taffy
Making the world-famous Saltwater Taffy!! YUM! (Craig Allen photo)

And, kept walking...on the boardwalk, and off...to "walk it off!"

Walking downtown...this grabbed my attention! From a distance, the dog sure looked real!

This is how I'm feeling all week! So very WELCOME! (Craig Allen photo)

Lots of kids are staying at this house, I imagine!

motel
Not so many "kids" here... (Craig Allen photo)

On the other hand, this motel is probably the only place in town with vacancies. Think of it as an investment opportunity! Who's in?

I'm thinking that this cart wandered a little far from home! (Craig Allen photo)

Want to stay longer? This "fixer-upper" is for sale! (Craig Allen photo)

I'm still walking...camera at the ready!

Neither rain nor snow...nor sleet..nor saltwater...will stop the U.S. Mail! (Craig Allen photo)

Please remember...while having fun (in Ocean City, and everywhere)...have fun responsibly!

So many great memories...and did I mention my tan? Thanks to slathering on the SPF, I did not burn (like I did at the neighbor's pool a few weeks back).
