Ross and I spent the week of August 16th-23rd with Jen, Derek and the grandkids in Ocean City NJ.
I am writing these next few posts to preserve precious memories for my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids and maybe even great-grandkids.

I thought it would be interesting to get another person’s perspective on our beach vacation.
I asked my favorite 10 year old grand daughter Bella to be a guest poster today.
On August 16, my family and
I went on our family vacation. My grandma and pop-pop bought rented a beach house. It
was on the first floor and we were only 4 blocks away from the sandy hot beach.
Read on to learn what we did on the beach, boardwalk, and how we spent family
time together.
Like
I said we went to the vast beach. We went every single day! My 11 month old
baby brother loved to play on the breathtaking beach for the very first time. Except
he wasn’t very fond of the loud, crashing waves. The first day we went there we
even built a (small) sand castle around our umbrella.
We
also went to the mind blowing crowded
boardwalk. We went to Pirates Cove and Wonderland. (Which has all the
cool rides.) My dad and I went on a ride called Double Shot. It was completely
terrifying. You sit on a seat then it takes you high in the air and propels you
down while you still are in your seat. I don’t recommend it if you hate the
dropping feeling in your stomach. Also we got hermit crabs named Winnie and
Onyx. We did a lot of shopping to conclude our time at the boardwalk.
Finally,
the best part was the family time that we all shared. On some days everybody
would go down to the beach AND boardwalk. It was so nice to have family time.
As
you can see I had the best time at Ocean City, New Jersey. I’ll always remember
the time we had at the beach, boardwalk, and with my family.
Thank you Bella. I would love to have you contribute your writings more often.
Bella is adorable (as is the rest of your family). Reading her words, you wuld never know she is 10 years old. She writes really well! Great idea to have her write a guest post from her perspective! I love her descriptive words she used, too. Very nicely done!

When I asked Bella to write this post, she asked me if it should be written as a personal narrative. I said “um, sure, I guess.” :)
DeleteI agree with you. She did a “mind blowing” job!
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the stomach dropping feeling thing. Sounds like she had a good time.
ReplyDeleteEven though Bella knew about that “stomach dropping” feeling, she had to try the ride! I had a hard time watching her on it!
DeleteTen? Well done!
ReplyDeleteI’m sure Bella will appreciate the compliment!
DeleteYears from now you can both look back at this post and recall this wonderful summer memory. Nice job, Bella!
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope to bind some of my posts into a book to hand down to the grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteThis proud grandma, also thinks Bella did a nice job :)
