Ocean City

  Hey people's. Today I'm going to write about my vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey. Here it goes.

  So every year my family goes to Ocean City in New Jersey. We also stop at a toy store called It's a Toy Store. We left at around 7:00 AM Saturday morning and packed everything in the car. At around 11:00 we got to It's a Toy Store. Alex looked for anything to do with superheroes he might like and Dad looked for Six Million Dollar Man stuff. I looked for Predators and Aliens. The Best thing I found was an original foot tall action figure from Alien but since it was so good it was 125$. :( I ended up getting a predalien by Neca, an alien warrior by Neca, the Aliens hover tread by Kenner, an Alien bobble head, and a Predator bobble head. Dad got a Six Million Dollar Man figure, Alex got a Superboy and a Bucky, and Katie got a puzzle. My next blog is going to be on everything I got in detail.

  Finally we got to the beach. Grandma and Grandad were there but unfortunately Aunt Robin, Isaac, and Andrew couldn't get there till Wednesday. Uncle Dave couldn't get there till Saturday and we left in the morning so we couldn't see him.   The next day we all got up and went to the beach. Most of the time I played in the sand with my brother before swimming because the life guards don't get there for a while. You have to find the right spot because you want it to eventually hit the water under the sand but you don't want it to happen immediately because the hole won't get deeper as easily. When the lifeguard arrives I go boogie boarding first and when it gets warmer I just swim. The worst part is leaving the beach because you are covered in sand, your wet, you have to carry sandy stuff, and you have to walk back. One of the most nostalgic parts is when it's the morning, it is something about the grey skies and sand and the dark ocean on the horizon.

  One of the best parts of the beach is the boardwalk. I remember when I was little me and my family were walking the boardwalk late at night. The sky was pitch black but the boardwalk was lit up by hundreds of multicolored lights from the attractions and the soft glow of the street lights strung together by more lights. I thought it was like this forever, all the way around the entire coast, and endless line of lights, fun places to visit and the ocean crashing against the sand. This time on the last day I set off with the sun setting in front of me eating ice cream with my little cousin Isaac on my shoulders. At those times I think the world would be much better if everyone had their own boardwalk stretching all the way around the world.

Bye.
