Vacations on the Jersey shore

My wife’s brother likes to take his family on an annual summer vacation in Wildwood NJ, going to the beach and spending time at the Morey’s Piers amusement parks.  They usually stay in one of the many Wildwood hotels so that they can be close to the shore.  This year they’ve invited my family to join them on the vacation.  They are planning to go in July.  I’ve never been to Wildwood, so I was asking him what is so special about it the other day.  He was telling me that it is a great place for a family to go; there are several water parks and amusement parks and rides, along with the regular lure of the sandy beach and boardwalk.  Also in July there is going to be a free Radio Disney Concert series, featuring a lot of Radio Disney stars at the Morey’s Mariner Landing Pier.

My wife and I went online to find things to do in New Jersey that might interest us, and it does look like there are a lot of things there that would keep us pretty busy, so we think we might join them if we can get the time off of work.

Last night I had to make up for lost time

Last night when I got home from work my wife had supper waiting for me.  That was a pleasant surprise because lately she has been so busy that I’ve been cooking supper many nights.  She did ask me to do the dishes afterwards because she had to get back to doing some work that had a fast approaching deadline, so I reluctantly did the dishes.  (I hate doing the dishes, but thank goodness we have a dishwasher, and there really weren’t that many to do, so I did them.)

Then I had to make up for the lost time of having taken the day off Sunday to go motorcycling with my brother-in-law.  I had to drill a hole in the back of a computer desk for my wife, and then I had to mow the lawn.  I have a really nice riding lawn mower so that wasn’t hard to do, but I would have preferred sitting in my recliner watching TV after having worked all day!  But, when you dance to the music, you have got to pay the piper, and yesterday was the day to pay him!

So, after a couple of hours of mowing, the lawn looks great, my wife is happy that I did the dishes and drilled the hole, and I am hoping to have a little time to relax this evening!
