You may have read about the beach replenishment efforts on part of the beach on the north end. As part of the process to rebuild the northern beaches that are basically gone in some places, they are building up very high sand dunes in places along the beach. When I say very high, I mean at least a few stories high in height in some locations. I don’t know the the technique involved, whether the dunes will naturally erode into a new beach or if the dunes will get pushed down into a new beach. All of the extra sand seems to be getting taken from the beach just north of Mariner‘s Landing. It was scary to see people, including children, scaling these mountains of sand.

So we headed down to Wildwood for a few days for our annual Easter trip. We were only down from Thursday to Friday, but we managed to have a good time. The rain stopped around noon on Thursday, but it was pretty cold down the shore. Here are some photos and observations from our trip. They were busy working on the new taco place at the former location of Stewart's. I'm surprised that the place needed this extensive of renovations. I'm not sold on the new color scheme yet. They were also working on the new restaurant going in at the former location of the Lobster Shack. This place will be called Nan & Pop's and I think it will serve country style food. The rides were closed on Morey's this year...but they opened up some of the games of chance on Friday. Also, Mariner's Arcade and Curley's opened on Thursday. The fries were as good as ever. This is my daughter (right) and her cousin enjoying some. My son tried a Chipstix for the first time and said it was good. They actually cut a potato and fry it while you wait....so it is fresh. Mack's at Wildwood Ave opened on Thursday and I got my first slice of the season. It was fantastic! In fact, it was so good I got a second slice. Mariner's Arcade got rid of half of their Skee Ball machines to put in 4 new Monster Drop machines. Lime Ricky World put in new carpeting and added several new machines. On Friday, Bobby Dees and Ed's opened. We played a little in Bobby Dees and won a golden ticket. Bobby Dees added a card system...but you can still use quarters if you wish. Mariner's is the last big arcade that has not adopted the card system yet. Snow White opened on Friday...although we did not get a Roast Beef sandwich this trip. We ate at the 2 Mile Landing on Friday shortly after they opened for the season. The new game this season seems to be this Avenger's game. Most of the arcades added at least one of them. Greens Liquors added a new sign with a message board. Well, aside from the cold weather, we had a great time. We are looking forward to returning in May. My son might be working down the shore this summer...so he has his eye out for some possible jobs. I hope everyone has a nice Easter.
