Hello Everyone:
I went down to Wildwood for vacation a couple of weeks ago (August 12-19). It was great as usual with beautiful weather, though a little sad to see how much more has been lost to the condos over the past year. This year we had a total of 12 of us down all week with another 13 friends and family down at one point or another during the week.
It was my family’s 35th consecutive year of going down Wildwood. We've always stayed on Maple Avenue, so to commemorate the anniversary I designed a beach towel. (Everyone on the board will probably recognize the silhouette.) When my father and I gave them out to the family, we all got a little teary thinking about the many great years we've been blessed with. And, it was nice to see everyone using them on the beach during the week.
A lot has changed about Wildwood, especially in the past few years, but regardless of its looks, it’s still a place that brings our family (a lots of other families) together like no place else. And for that, it’s priceless.
