More from our NJ Trip - The Boardwalk!

So sorry it's been so long since my last entry. It is pure laziness and procrastination that has kept me from updating. Anywho, to continue on from our wonderful trip back home in July.... The evening of our Beach Day we reserved to go to the Ocean City Boardwalk for some rides with the kiddos and to indulge in all the wonderful pizza and snacks the boardwalk offers! Yipee! We met with Dana and the kids at a pizzeria for dinner and then headed to the rides afterward. We took Ashley and Johnny on the carousel and the choo choo train around the park. Both Johnny and Ashley wanted to go on the helicopter ride, so my Dad and I stood in line with them. I was going to take Johnny and Dad took Ashley. Well, as soon as we boarded Ashley threw a fit and didn't want to go on, so I had to get off and tend to her while Dad went on with Johnny. What a bummer! I don't know why she gets like that sometimes. John Michael, Paul and Danny rode lots of the "scary" rides together while we all hung out with the kids. Ashley was being so cute with her Pop-Pop (my Dad). She kept giving him "rasberries" on his cheek and giving him big hugs. It was so precious to watch. Dad, John Michael and I went on the bumper cars together! That was a blast! Then we all left the park to try and find an open Johnson's popcorn, but unfortunately, it was already closed for the night...BUMMER! I got soft serve ice cream with jimmies instead. I loved being on the boardwalk again, smelling the sea, watching all the lights from the stores and shops on the boardwalk and strolling with my family. It brought back lots of memories. (P.S. I did get my Johnson's popcorn after all....my Dad and I went to the boardwalk to pick some up the following day)
