Summer on the Boards of Wildwood

The formula for a dad taking his family to the Wildwood boardwalk on the Jersey Shore:

- Enter the boards on 23rd st (roughly)
- Go to the end of pier, down to the beach, and run amok for an hour
- Back to the boards and straight to Sam's for a pie (4 slices for me, 2 for the wife, 1 each for the kids) While there, enjoy the view
- Wash it down with a pint of Blue Polish Water, head south
- Hit the dollar store for some crap. Seriously, can you beat buying nets for $1
- Crab fries at Chickie and Pete's, gotta do it.
- Hit the kiddie pier. Ferris Wheel, tea cups, that superman thing.
- Kohr's, for $20 of ice cream, then head north
- Fireworks
- Mac's. 2 slices for me, everyone else is starting to run out of steam
- Send the kids back down to the beach for 15 min while I deal with Mac
- Another pint of Blue Ice.
- Funnel Cake, finishes off the troops.
- Hit the Wawa for a 44oz fountain Coke for the ride home.

That about sums it up.

(Usually kids are asleep by the time we get home, but if not, then it's "Friday Night Lights" at midnight on a dock for nighttime fishing)
