That's why I appreciate the set-up here so much. We are blessed with central air in our house. A system that blows hot or cold air into every room depending on the temperature. Without it, May through September would be gross!
We also live 80 miles from amazing coastline in New Jersey, referred to around here as "the shore".
Everyone has a favorite seaside town, each one with a distinct atmosphere and demographic. Ours is Ocean City, NJ - a dry (no alcohol sold in town), family-centric town with a beautiful sandy beach.
The boardwalk is 8 blocks of shops and eateries, and a few venues of fairground rides and arcades. The kids love the mini-golf and rides at the kids Wonderland.
We decided this year we would not be taking a week long vacation, but we still want to feel the escape of the beach. So we are taking as many day trips as we can, and hopefully we'll feel the cumulative effects of the change of pace.
We're thankful that many of our friends love the place too and often meet up with friends. Today, Scott's cousin Bevin, husband Tom and their girls, Lainey and Paige, joined us. The kids are great friends as well as us, so it was nice to share the day.

Emma loves the weird dress-ups on the boardwalk.
Big sisters, Emma and Lainey, leading the way!
While the little guys travel in style!
Time for rides...
I accompanied Em on the hang-glider...
And Toby on the roller coaster!
Then back home in time for dinner.
LOVE IT!!!
