The Shore. For me it will always be the shore. My friend Rob posted a recent blog about Seaside Heights, NJ. This is where my Grandmother (my dads mom) lived. Of course we visited ALL THE TIME! My dad took care of things for her. I loved going down the shore - and I still do.
But there was nothing like Seaside Heights. Especially back in the day. I don't know how it is now. It has been over 12 years since I've been there :(
Here is a link to Robs Blog - play the video - and see where I spent my summers, and then some......
This video brought back so many memories. Memories of my father. I miss him.
Yesterday would have been my dad's birthday. (he's been with God for five years now). This brought back such great memories for me. Thanks Rob :)
My dad was the one that taught us to swim. And my sister and I swim like fish, lol. So we had lots of fun down the shore. Yes, we might have had to wait for him to fix the leaky kitchen faucet first.... but then he would be on the beach with us - and teaching us how to body surf, beach combing.... At night we would do the boardwalk - the games......etc ...OMG!! ... What fun!!
And even though this film was taken in 1960 - - the boardwalk, etc had not changed much (except for prices + clothes - cars, lol) from what I can remember :)
I haven't been to Seaside Heights in a looooong time. I would like to drive down my Nana's old street sometime, and check out the old neighborhood. Not to mention the beach and the boardwalk :) (and get some zeppoles, yummmm.
Thanks for the memories, Rob :) (and for making me hungry, lol)
