Down the shore

We enjoyed one last summer hurrah in Ocean City, NJ over the weekend. We headed down Sunday morning and had a gorgeous day. The beach was mobbed as the second to last weekend before Labor Day but we found a primo spot to plant our umbrella.

The water was a warm 76 degrees and felt really nice.

We found some shade under the music pier.



We hit some rides on the boardwalk Sunday night. The kids didn't hesitate to go up on this humongous ferris wheel...meanwhile the 10 year old behind us panicked at the last minute and got out of line. It didn't phase them but we WERE up high.

High above Ocean City we could see for miles.

We woke up Monday morning to drastically cooler temps. But by late morning it was warm enough to head to the beach for some shell collecting. Well, that was the plan. Autumn ended up wading right back into the water, fully dressed, to jump in the waves. The pull of the ocean.

We stopped for custard on the boardwalk for one last treat before heading home. We all had a great time and promised the kids we'll stay a bit longer next year.
