I remember when I used to be at your home this time of year and babysit the kids with your Mom.
Time has changed!
I still love you

When we were really young, we would spend three weeks of the summer in Longport, which is south of Atlantic City, below Margate and the famous Lucy the Elephant. As we got older and wanted more action, my parents opted for Ocean City. My mom just sold her house in Ocean City last July. Our visits to Atlantic City were so long ago, a lifetime ago, and I feel like I made peace with the city after this trip. I’m actually looking foward to returning.

When I was a kid my Mother went to Atlantic City for the NJ Teachers Convention. It must have been the late 1950’s. Her friend Marion and friend’s daughter Martha went with us…what an adventure for a kid. Hard to believe, but the Boardwalk was considered safe enough that Martha and I were given pocket money and turned loose for the day. We explored, beachcombed, rode the for hire horses on the beach and ate enough free samples at the fudge shops that we often got fairly sick from overindulgence…but when you are 10…who cares.

I remember the salt water taffy although I spent more time at Ocean City and Stone Harbor than Atlantic City. I now live on the Gulf of Mexico and the water doesn’t smell as salty as the Atlantic of my childhood. Oh the those childhood memories.

And you will be pleased to know, the whole trip down the Garden State Parkway, I was listening to a Stephanie Plum Novel, by Janet Evanovitch! She is such a Jersey Girl!
