so, i never made it to the yucatan. but i did make it to new jersey. with my mom. right now we're in wildwood. a childhood favorite. and grandma jo's most memorable summer destination. yes...the jersey shore...
i love it. sandy beaches that stretch longer than i ever remembered. busy boardwalks. rowdy roller coasters and that big beautiful ferris wheel. all lit up! watch the tramcar please! funnel cake and curley fries. the only food options for a strict vegetarian in these parts, since i no longer do fried haddock like i did when i was a child!! my mom's happy with the frozen custard or a big ice cream sundae from "the seashell". and amidst my vegan-esque leanings...i do have to say...man, i would really love some mack's boardwalk pizza! it just smells so damn good as we traverse the boardwalk each evening! i end up settling for the "polish water ice". they say it's "outta this world". :)
and so...tonight, here i sit in our hotel. the marlane. an irish place. all cozy. today it rained. my mom and i ventured to cape may. vacation shopping. and i'm completely saturated. had my fill of t-shirts and trinkets. best part of the day was dinner. we went to "godmother's". good service. red wine. fine salad. pasta with spinach. and some chocolate. then a short drive to see the lighthouse shining it's light. :)
tomorrow we head back to the beach. hoping for sunny skies. a mild enough breeze. relaxation. gotta work on this summer tan. i only have four more days left at my job back in bingo. time is moving so incredibly fast. and there are big changes on the horizon.
california soon will school me.
and then austin, texas will become my home.
