Just a Day at the Beach

The days have been quite the same here at the beach–wake up, breakfast, beach, lunch on beach, dinner and hitting a few bars–so I really had nothing to say yesterday.

Saturday night we visited Lucy the Elephant. Lucy is a giant elephant in Margate that used to be a hotel and now is a major tourist attraction down here.

Yesterday we got pizza delivered to the beach.

(It’s really crowded.)

For dinner, we went to an Italian seafood place on the water called Baia. I started with a limoncello drink with limoncello and vodka. It was both sweet and strong, which is a sort of weird combination, if you ask me. I couldn’t drink more than one of these.

So for dinner, I switched to wine.

I usually can’t resist gnocchi or scallops on a menu, so when I saw both in one dish, I had to get it.

After dinner, we all headed out to the deck of the restaurant to hang out.

Not really the greatest pic, but I loved the little sparkling lights.

I would like my hair to do that without ocean water. (Or to just move to the ocean. Either would be great.)

Today’s beach lunch delivery was from a placed called Matteo’s, and I got a lobster roll. I felt kind of bad for the lobster and the lobster family he left eating it on the beach.

Since I’ve been here, I haven’t had many vegetables and I haven’t eaten very healthily, but my stomach seems to have calmed down. I don’t understand, but I’m going with it. Back to the beach!

Down the Shore

To anyone who says the Jersey Shore is ugly/trashy, I present the following:

Whatever. Trashy or not, I got sunshine today.

My mom and I hit up the snack bar for lunch. We split fries, and I got a chicken sandwich; she got a hot dog. I looked at the menu and contemplated a burger but went with the chicken sandwich because I wanted fries and knew I’d be indulging all weekend. I should have just gone with the burger, because I’m still craving one.
