Hello from Wildwood, NJ!
We arrived here on Friday evening and despite a day full of crappy weather on Saturday, we are having a blast! The weather on Sunday was absolutely perfect for beachin’ it, so that’s exactly what we did.
Thank goodness, Lucas is no longer interested in eating the sand. Instead, he’s loving playing in it, running all over it, and playing in the (mini) waves.
This kid is loving life right now.
As are we.
We all spent the morning and early afternoon down at the beach, then spent a couple of hours up at the pool before showering and getting ready to head out for dinner…
Because ice cream from the Sea Shell while you’re on vacation is totally acceptable.
Cheers to fun with family and delicious ice cream!
Ohhhh, these sundaes…
I went with my favorite – a caramel sundae, with a scoop of Cookies & Cream and a scoop of Toffee something…can’t remember exactly what. But whatever it was, it seriously hit the spot.
After we all devoured our ice cream, we made a last minute decision to hit up the boardwalk so Lucas could go on a few rides. He and Uncle Dan got to ride together in style, since he’s still recovering from his ACL surgery.
I’m glad we only bought a small amount of tickets because in the end, the only ride Lucas was even remotely interested in was the convoy trucks. We had to go on those more than once…and only on the blue one.
He’s such a character.
And now, we’ve got Lucas put to bed and we’re all hanging out on the balcony enjoying a few drinks and waiting for some pizza to get delivered to the room.
Gotta love vacation!

I haven’t commented on your blog before (well I lie – maybe once or twice), but I’ve been an avid reader for years. In fact, your blog is what inspired me to create one of my own (thank you very much).
Anyways… I’m so happy you and your beautiful family are having such a fab time on vacation. Lucas is such a little cutie pie. I love the photos of him rocking his shades & backward hat. Too funny!
Well have a fun remainder of your vacation!

Looks like you’re having a great time! We’re headed down to Wildwood in a couple of weeks with our two little guys. I’ve never been to Sea Shell, so we’ll definitely have to check it out!

One, your hair looks AMAZING! Two, Lucas is so sweet in his sunglasses. Three, that ice cream! This weekend we stayed home and had a slumber party with my three year old nice! It was a blast.

Looks like you’re having a great time! Your son, Lucas, is adorable! Life is certainly great at the beach.
Britt@MyOwnBalance says
Looks like so much fun! I think the beach is one of the best places for kids. It is so much fun and tires them out so much!
Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment says
I haven’t been to Wildwood in forever (I am from New Jersey). Love that beach – enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Melissa says
Yummy, those sundaes look incredible! I’ve visited Wildwood, NJ numerous times throughout my life, since I live only about 2 hours or so away and I remember it always being a fun time! I hope you and your family have a great time!

You’re making me so excited for our lake/beach vacation later this week! I have a feeling Hunter is going to loooove playing in the sand just like Lucas. After all, it’s the world’s biggest sandbox, right? ;) Lucas looks so cute in his shades and backward hat – love it! And you look all sun kissed and pretty! Enjoy!
Carrie (This Fit Chick) says
What a fun weekend! I’m jealous that you are close to the beach.. I’ll be close to a lake this weekend- close enough!
Laur says
I am pretty sure every day at the beach ends with pizza on the balcony. Haha! I am so happy Lucas is loving everything about the beach. I always think it’s important to open kiddos up to all kinds of things early in life! :)

AH! I love Wildwood, NJ!! My family and I go to Seaside Heights every Summer! Actually I will be heading there next week!! It looks like your vacation days at the shore look a lot like mine!
I have a favorite ice cream shop in seaside. It’s called The Sundae Times!
Alyssa @ Renaissancerunnergirl says
I have lots of friends who summer down there and who have worked at the rides and ice cream shops :) Amazing sundaes!
