On The Boardwalk

We spent Father's Day exploring the boardwalk of Ocean City (NJ). We had never been there before and figured it was a good excuse to take the inlaws up north to check it out. My verdict of Ocean City Boardwalk is that it is 100 times better than our more local Wildwood Boardwalk, mainly because it is far more family friendly. It's a dry boardwalk (no alcohol allowed), which means less party hardiers, which also means less (actually none) slutty/dirty/foul inappropriate shirt storefronts. There were a lot of kid friendly carnival rides which of course we had to test out to make sure they were up to our standards. And of course lots of food and drink and souvenir shops, miniature golf, arcade rooms and the like, all a foot away from the beach. 

Note: I'm impressed with how quickly they restored the Boardwalk considering it was leveled during hurricane Sandy. There were still some signs of restoration/construction, but otherwise the place looked great.
