I posted about a trip here:<br /><br />http://gratefulprayerthankfulheart.blogspot.com/2009/08/boardwalk-sketch-for-show-tell-friday.html<br /><br />As we grew a little older the destination was Wildwood and we have always gone to Ocean City with our kids.<br /><br />Your photos are great and so exciting to see!

I was there with my friend Carol about 9 years ago, we had driven there which took over 16 hours!! We were there for 5 days and would walk on the boardwalk every day. It's where I tasted my first Philly Cheese Steak sandwich as well as my first Funnel Cake. Now I'm drooling! lol We had also gone into all the casinos, not to gamble but to ooh and aah over the opulance!! <br /><br />Congratulations on winning that giveaway:-) xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-21925897406365694252010-11-18T14:19:17.487-05:002010-11-18T14:19:17.487-05:00Oh wow, that must have been a wonderfukl weekend. ...Oh wow, that must have been a wonderfukl weekend.

I have never been there and it looks so interesting. I love the bit of history you shared. The Steel Pier story is awesome. My niece just moved to NJ and they are loving it so far. She is expecting her first baby and this move was a very hard move but her hubby has a new job there so moving was a given. I think I mentioned this vaguely in a previous comment. I wonder if she and her hubs have been to Atlantic city yet. Smile. I want to go!!!<br />Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Pat.<br />Hugs, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-52652495576654090912010-11-18T14:06:32.804-05:002010-11-18T14:06:32.804-05:00Looks like fun!
