One Last Tradition To Do

By Courtney 37 Comments

Last night, on our last evening here, the four of us headed out for one last stop on our Wildwood tradition list…the Boardwalk.

IMG_5817

As usual, things were hustlin’ and bustlin’!

IMG_5821

We even got to catch the tram car and listen to the repetitive “Watch the tram car, please!” blasting from its speakers a few dozen times.

It sure wouldn’t be a trip to Wildwood without the tram car. Winking smile

IMG_5816

Aaaand just because you haven’t already seen about five bajillion of them, here’s another self-taken photo of me and Jay. Hey, at least we’ve never had one taken on a boardwalk before.

IMG_5835

We had a few places that we planned on stopping at while on the boardwalk…one of which being Curley’s.

IMG_5818

Curley’s has, in my opinion, some of the best boardwalk fries around. And while I easily could have been content on just making a dinner out of ‘em, I figured it wouldn’t exactly have been the dinner of champs.

IMG_5820

I ordered myself a Chicken Cheesesteak and, unbeknownst to me, it was enormous. Really enormous.

IMG_5824

So since I still wanted to leave plenty of room for the real goods at hand, I ended up cutting one half of my sandwich into thirds, sharing it with the group, and ate the other half for myself. It was good, for boardwalk grub. Winking smile

IMG_5825

But as I mentioned before, the real star of the show was the fries. We ordered a big bucket to share amongst us all and I certainly did my part contributing to its dwindling portions.

IMG_5823

Does this all right here not spell v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n or what??

After dinner, we walked around the boardwalk a bit more so we could make another necessary pit stop at Douglass Fudge.

IMG_5827

Every year we came to Wildwood, we always had to make a stop into Douglass Fudge so we could load up on fudge to bring back for my grandparents, our friends, and of course, ourselves.

IMG_5828

While they do have some amazing fudge, it seems to lose its appeal for me once I get back home with it. So rather than waste our money, Jay and I decided to skip on the fudge.

But that doesn’t mean we left empty-handed!

IMG_5834

While walking around the store, I found myself getting a sudden urge for saltwater taffy. I just had to have it…

IMG_5831

So I got it.

IMG_5832

The girl working there was very nice and said that I could even choose my own flavors, so I got three of my favorite flavors: vanilla, orange, and cherry.

IMG_5833

After we got our goods, the boardwalk quickly began to feel extremely crowded and loud, so we scooted out of there and headed back to the hotel to hang out for the rest of the evening.

Now this morning, we’re packing things up for the last time and getting ready to head back home. As sad as I am to leave, as always, I am quite excited to go back and see my little Cody. Even if he did hijack my blog again. Winking smile

Stay tuned this afternoon for an awesome Fashion Friday post…but for now, I’ll see ya from New York!!

Question for the Morning:

What’s your favorite fair/boardwalk/carnival foods to get? (fries, fried dough, etc.)

Do you like fudge? What flavors?

    My favorite boardwalk food to get in Bethany Beach (my home-tizzle) is DB Fries and shaved ice. Sooo yummy. I discovered pumpkin fudge at a Halloween party last year and I have to say that's now become my favorite flavor.

    I'm a big fan of monkey bread on the mean boards of OCNJ.... (doesn't have the same ring as the mean streets, does it?) Also, give me Mack & Manco's pizza or GIVE ME DEATH!! Or just more pizza.

    I love mini donuts, corn dogs and ice cream! We are going to our local fair here next weekend and those three things will not be missed! I am not a fudge fan, but love chocolate and sweets, weird!

    I have been craving peanut butter fudge lately. I even asked my gram last night to make it and her response was "oh boy..." haha! Wish I was @ Wildwood right now eating peanut butter fudge :)

    Wait, Curley's doesn't serve curly fries?? I guess crinkle cut is a fine alternative :) The boardwalk must-haves for me are fudge, dippin' dots, and FUNNEL CAKES! As a kid, I dropped my funnel cake in the sand and seagulls attacked it. I'm pretty sure I cried. Man, this post makes me really want to go to Bethany Beach, DE!! I'm so glad you had fun.

    Mmm....I would have loved to eat the other half of your chicken cheesesteak sandwich! I used to love fudge, but I got ...a bug... one time after I had just eaten some. Now, it's a no-go. Something about saltwater taffy screams "vacation". Every time we go to the mountains, we buy some. Have a safe trip home!

    When I was a kid, I used to LOVE getting french fries at a fair/boardwalk and pouring on vinegar and ketchup. Yum! But I haven't had that in a long time. Now I'd probably say that ice cream would be my favorite. Your sandwich was HUGE!! I think that sandwich would have even made the guy from "Man v. Food" cringe! ;)

    Fries and funnel cake/fried dough! Although the fried dough is one of those things that I really crave beforehand and then once I get it I kinda feel disgusting eating it.

    Wow, that boardwalk looks just like the one in Santa Cruz, CA! Maybe all boardwalks look alike... I love fudge, but I'm not too adventurous- I like plain ol' milk chocolate. :)

    You're so pretty Courtney, love the pics! My absolute favorite Boardwalk is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk...we only live about an hour from there and it's a great lil getaway. And my favorite treat to get is the old fashioned chocolate dipped yogurt cone...and maybe some cotton candy too ;)

    My fav amusement park food is Kettle Corn, or snow cones. I cannot wait till Sun because my family and I will be doing all the fun stuff you have been doing...Beach Bound! I'm so pumped! My 2yr old nice is going and I am so excited to spend a week building sancastles with her. The last thing I want to tell you is that you made me feel so good. I have issues with traveling and food. I can't control when or what we eat. But you know what? Reading your blog put me at ease. I won't gain 5pds from vacation. I'm gonna enjoy it....every last bite!

      That's so true, Vanessa! It's all about balance...so make sure that you enjoy EVERY OUNCE of that vacation, and when you get back, then it will be back to reality. Life's too short to not enjoy it to the max every now and then! :)
