We got up at 11:00 am. I guess we are not yet on East Coast time.
We went for a walk on the boardwalk. The boardwalk is an East coast phenomena. It is a long wooden sidewalk about 35 feet wide that boarders the beach on one side and the otherwise is a collection of retail, entertainment and food. The shops sell everything from beach attire to beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, T-shirts, hats, jewelry, souvenirs and just stuff. For entertainment there are putt-putt golf courses, with themes from zombies, ,pirates to glow in the dark. Other options include water slides, movie theaters, and penny arcades with air hockey, video games, and Sarah's favorite, Skeeball. The popular food options are pizza, funnel cakes, Italian water ice plus some nice seafood restaurant. On our walk back, Rich bought us some Italian water ice, very cool and refreshing. Even though it is after Labor Day and the main summer season, it is a weekend and the beach and boardwalk are still very crowded with families. This weekend there was a street-rod car show on the boardwalk, with cars like Model A's, 1948 Fords, Corvettes, etc. There was plenty for us to see on our walk. Last night there was a rain storm so there is a lot of humidity in the air and it is in the 80's but the wind helps keep it from being too oppressive. Tonight there are thunderstorm warnings all along the coast. It could be interesting night
