July 2013
I hadn't been to Wildwood, NJ in probably 25 years or more. (Yes, that makes me feel old.) Generally, if I'm going to spend any time at the Jersey shore it's spent in Atlantic City, Ocean City or Sea Isle City. It was fun to see how much changed. Of course, my only real memory from my last Wildwood visit was going on rides and asking my parents to buy us ice cream.
