Once again, we stayed at the Windrift, right on the beach on the border between Avalon and Stone Harbor. Can't beat the convenience, with ocean and pool within a stone's throw. Having been to the Windrift now several times, we are learning more and more about what is where in terms of places to eat, and things to do, which is helpful.
One of the highlights for the kids is always the trip (or two) to the boardwalk in Wildwood, a ten minute drive away.

The Wildwood boardwalk is a semi-junky money-leech of a tourist trap, but I can certainly see the appeal for kids. After all, I was once, and can (mostly) remember back that far.

| Spinning rides...ugh... |
Our inlaws took their vacation at the same time as us again this year, and it was great that the kids got to hang out with their cousins.

Grace and Ines especially liked the rides at Morey's Pier, and are getting braver every year with what they choose to go on.

Having spent time getting rid of extra stuffed animals out of the house, we of course had to play some carnival games and win more of them. There's nothing quite like spending ten or twenty dollars in tickets to win a stuffed animal you could buy for three dollars (yeah, yeah, I get it).

We had great weather in general. It stormed one night, but that was after dark when we weren't doing anything outside and it didn't matter. Grace and I were strolling the beach in the dark when the storm rolled in, and it was really cool to watch the lightning over the ocean in the distance.

A good time was had by all, and I suspect we will be doing it again next summer. There has been discussion of our two families renting a house for a week, but it's hard to beat the convenience of the Windrift. We shall see.
