I have spent my entire summers as a child on the Jersey Shore. Being from MI, I consider myself spoiled just bc of that experience. I had not been back since 2005! This time I got to bring my little girl and experience it with her as this is now the 5th generation to be out on the shore in the summers, my moms side of the family is from here. I got to see cousins I have not seen since my last trip and a friend I served with, that I had not seen in 2. But the best part…experiencing this through a kid, now I see what my grandpa and mom meant when they said how they loved me being there. It was just incredible. We crabbed, walked the boardwalk, boated, swam in the ocean, did the boardwalk every night and of course the pizza. My kid even won 19000 points in an arcade game LOL. This brought back so many memories for me. The condo we stayed at was awesome. Plenty of room in a very clean and warming place, the beach theme is great. Temperature was always easy to control, very clean, and offered all one needs to basically “live there”. The owner was very responsive to any questions and they even offer you beach passes which does save you some money. Owners around in the condo were great and beyond welcoming. One of them had my daughter and I for pizza with their family, even swam with their kid.
It was such a great time I am booking for next year as my child and I take a trip a year, she wants to come again and so do I, hope it’s a new tradition as I loved going out there as a kid for almost a whole decade as a kid every summer for weeks at a time.
Thanks for helping my kid and I have such an awesome trip that we will both remember forever
