Here are a few examples of the Victorian feel.
We then drove up Ocean Drive to The Wildwoods, where Vicki and I spent some school years. It's called The Wildwoods because there is Wildwood Crest, West Wildwood, Wildwood and North Wildwood [where we lived]. Of course, we traveled down memory lane and visited our old haunts. Sorry, no pictures of any of the Wildwoods. Too poignant.
Instead of traveling north on the Garden State Parkway, we took the coastal route and drove through all the wonderful little coast towns, like Stone Harbor, Sea Girt, Sea Isle City, Avalon, ending up in Ocean City where I took these shots. Nice, eh?
We decided to walk the boardwalk in Ocean City [which is an absolutely lovely town]. They were having a Seafood Festival for the end of the season. We were going to eat at the Inlet so we didn't partake of any of the food on the boardwalk - which smelled WONDERFUL. Here is a just a little our taste [use your imagination] of the boardwalk.
And below is a picture of me, Vicki and Denice which was taken by a total stranger who just happened along - WHAT? - being so very nice!
We drove over to Somers Point to have dinner at The Inlet BUT it had been taken over by a private party and we had to move along. We ended up at Mac's which is a local watering hole and restaurant. Ron, our waiter, was friendly, professionaly and downright nice.
I ordered fresh-caught scallops which were mighty tasty.
Vicki ordered Havana Pork Chops which were wonderfule [she let me taste a bite]. Denice and Marie had flounder which they said was great.
Another one of those rude, unfriendly New Jerseyites was kind enough [must have been drunk] to take our picture. Of course, I fainted because NJ people are RUDE.
If you ever drive through Somers Point, NJ, stop at:
We then went back to Denice and Marie's for more cheesecake. No pictures to prove this event.
Denice and Marie are the most incredible hostesses ever.
See ya manana!
