Day Six: Nobody's board here

The girls were so excited to feed the ducks when they woke up. They had a box full of Cheerios and it made for at least an hour full of fun. Once everyone was ready to go, we headed out towards Six Flags in New Jersey. We all enjoyed a few rides and games but the main goal was for Mike to go on the Kingda Ka. This rollercoaster is a 30 second ride that goes over 400 feet in the air and 128 miles an hour down a sheer drop. Mike said it was pretty anti-climatic but he’s glad he had the experience, especially since he has such a big fear of heights.

Afterwards, we drove on to WildWoods, NJ to visit the boardwalk. This place was so much fun. It’s like the best of a fair, all the time. The shops, restaurants, rides, games, and people-watching kept us busy for hours. In the evening, we took a walk on the gigantic sandy beach and splashed in the ocean. From there, we could see all of Wildwoods lit up in all it’s bright lights. We found some neat sand creations including a big hole with built in sand “furniture.” We found a creature washed up on shore but we’re not sure what it is. If you know, please let us know!

What is this???





We arrived at our campsite really late in the night and did not have a map to our tent sight. We drove around in the dark for 20 minutes on barely visible gravel “roads” until we found it only to discover the following morning that it was only feet from where we had checked in. We had a good laugh about that one.
