In the Summer of 2008 I was fortunate enough to take a car ride trip to Seaside Heights with my husband and son which is about 1 1/2 hours away from where we live in the Bronx. We usually vacation in Wildwood, New Jersey but wanted to take my son to Seaside Heights to try something new and to have fun with him walking on the boardwalk, playing games and putting him on rides in the amusement park. Since my son was 7 years old at the time, Seaside Heights was the perfect vacation spot. It was a short car ride away but yet felt worlds apart from the Bronx. Anyone who knows me well, knows I love to spend time at the beach during the summer so naturally I was also very excited and eager to experience the beauty of spending time close to the ocean, on the beach, at the Jersey Shore. The Highlight for us each night was walking from our hotel to the 2 1/2 mile boardwalk where we would talk, eat dinner, play games, go on rides and of course buy my yummy Fudge. To fathom that Seaside Heights no longer exits as we know it due to Hurricane Sandy is very heartbreaking. We created memories there in the Summer of 2008 that will never be forgotten and wanted to share my collage of pics with you so people who have never been there can see what a special and fun place it was. Hopefully over time, they will be able to re-build this seaside community to its natural beauty and restore the boardwalk so future generations of families can enjoy it and make memories as I had the great opportunity to do with my family.
