I had the pleasure of being in Ocean City, NJ today. While it was cold, it somehow always feels like summer there. The beach is this picture is empty--much different from how it will be in 2 months.
In someways, I like the shore better in the off season. It is beautiful, yet quiet, and somehow comforting. I kind of grew up during my summers in OC. I learned so much about myself and others (especially the ones I lived with for a week).
I don't get to visit one of my favorite places that much any more. Work, school, and personal responsiblites have robbed me of my careless summer days on the beach and eating my way up the boardwalk (Mack & Mancos, Johnson's Popcorn, Kohr Bros.).
But everytime I go back, I somehow feel like a kid again...
