I would love to go down for a day or two. I've always loved it. Laura's fudge is the best around.
I'm glad you had a nice vacation. Now you have me craving the shore  |
Do all Philly cops hate Wildwood. I'd posted already on here how my dad who would take us everywhere, and anywhere put his foot down on Wildwood. That was many, many years ago too before the N. Philly crowd even ventured except for their bus trips. Shoebees or something they called em. Lunch in a shoebox. Which then was no longer the case.
My mom figured we'd be misssing out on rights of passage, and she'd do all the leg work. She didn't drive so he'd drive us down, and promptly help us unpack, and turn around and come home to peace and quiet.
If we asked my dad to take us to Alaska he would have. Every sing, solitary weekend we went somewhere both days. Fort Mifflin, places with Army tanks, Art Museum. We were allowed to each bring a friend too. He was an awesome dad, but no way would he do Wildwood.
Cape May he'd do. Of course AC. Although taking the kids out over to that pier was a bit ummm foreign. Showboat used to have a bowling alley and an arcade for the kids, and the pool. So he took the grands there.
ctr3, You can't blame your hubby. He sees enough madness, and mayhem all week long. Must want some quiet. I also thought or KNEW my dad was afraid of Jaws. LOL Still though he'd go in the bay at Avalon.
Oh, trust me staying with just my mom was a trip. She couldn't bring her firearm across state lines so she'd get a clothesline, and then tie it to the front door knob of our room. Then we had to take out all the bureau drawers, and pile them in front of the door. The rope got attached to her foot so if someone tried to brake in she'd wake up.
Ya know it's like wife of a cop. Ya never know who has a key to that room, and saw the cute little teenager girl go in. We drew the line the time we got a place with alot of windows. That woman knew how to boobytrap windows like she was the CIA.
Every kid though should be able to have at least a few days in the Wildwoods. Nothing like it in the world.
Oh, I hope Firewire your colon is doing better. Bless you son with your ripped body, and strict diet. You get points for your dedication.
