To celebrate the Summer Solstice aka the first day of summer, I took the hour + twenty minute drive from Philly to #OCNJ which is also known as Ocean City, New Jersey. Growing up, this was the go to spot when I went down the shore with family. Someone in the family always had a house in Ocean City so we always had a free place to stay.
I haven’t been to OC in a very long time as I have been spending beach time in Mexico, the DR and Florida. Oh, and Atlantic City, NJ. I don’t know why I haven’t been back in so long, I loved it so much and when I was there on Saturday, I had that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling. The beach was packed however we found a spot. It was cloudy so no suntan to be had although I took my daughter and grandson and he absolutely loved the waves. That alone makes me want to go back immediately.
One tradition that I wanted to share with them was eating pizza at Manco & Manco’s. Truly the finest slice of pizza deliciousness that you find in Ocean City. Do yourself a favor, go to OC and grab a slice, no two slices of Manco & Manco’s pizza.
Oh and dolphin sightings galore! Because we all know that right now there is a great white shark swimming up and down the Atlantic Ocean and very close to New Jersey currently, the dolphin sighting was scary at first. Alas, they were just sweet, little dolphins.
