As many of you know this past weekend was a scorcher. Everyone finally traded in their long pants and sweatshirts for shorts and tank tops. (Let's cross our fingers it stays for awhile!) But anyway, I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed it, we sure did!
Last Thursday Grace's friend, Danna came to visit. Grace and Danna had their own weekend kind of planned, so Abby decided that we should go on an adventure. She told me we were going somewhere and that her plan was genius, but she wouldn't tell me where she planned to kidnap me to. She eventually sent me pictures of sandy beaches and the ocean and made me guess what beach and I couldn't figure it out. Finally, I realized, we were going to WILDWOOD.
The trip began being planned and Grace and Danna were pretty jealous, so we extended the offer so that they could tag along too! Abby and I were so excited, but we didn't have a lot of the basics to go on a trip to the beach, so we went to Five Below to purchase what we needed. We got beach towels, the only thing we actually needed, but on top of that, we bought matching shirts and sunglasses that we were going to wear. Oh, and I almost forgot! We got a selfie stick because what squad goes to the beach and doesn't bring a selfie stick?! We also bought new swimsuits which were not in the budget, but hey they were 40% off so our parents would be proud... I think.

Saturday then passed by with an amazing breakfast, a trip to the farmer's market, a visit from an old friend, some delicious cookies, and a movie to wrap up the evening. The next morning we headed out at 7 AM to the grand ocean blue.
We stopped twice, once for breakfast and the other to get some chips for our guacamole that we bought the day before at the farmer's market. We also ended up at ACME buying this lovely guy (below), his name is Iggy and for a mere $6.99, he brought more fun to our beach day than any other man could.

After our day relaxing on the beach, we headed up to the boardwalk to ride some rides and finish off with some nice boardwalk snacks. These included ice cream, pizza, and a tasting of fried delights. These fried foods were not all great, but they included fried Oreos, a Reeses peanut butter cup, a Twix bar, and even some cookie dough (our least favorite, I would say).
On our trip back we jammed out to some lovely music. Overall our beach day was a success! But once we were back to reality the approaching week and the sunburn began to set in. So Grace headed to CVS to stock up on aloe and aloe lotion which we have plowed through. In our defense, the beach was super overcast and we went through an entire bottle of sunscreen but somehow we still ended up sunburnt. Some more than others... whoops, my bad.
Here's to many more summer adventures with my best friends!

Christine
