Get to Know LBI

Get to know LBI, and see a little more of it! This is my favorite place at the Jersey Shore.

LBI

My new LBI video! I redid it due to a small problem with the other one, so here’s the new version.

View of the Bay

I’m sitting at a large table looking out on this gorgeous view. We’re finding we like the bay side more than we thought we would. We’re usually ocean view people at the beach, so this is new to us. The way this house is situated it feels private, even though we have neighbors close by. [...]

Sea Isle City

I’ve gone to LBI and Wildwood most of my life. This year was the first year I was introduced to Sea Isle City. My brother-in-law’s parents bought a condo in Sea Isle this year. My sister, niece, mother and myself went down for four days, and stayed at the condo. Oh my gosh, not only [...]

Do You Believe in the Jersey Devil?

Nah, not the New Jersey Devils hockey team, I’m talking about the famous spooky tail of the "New Jersey Devil”….or the "Jersey Devil". I remember hearing the story, and when I’d drive through the pine barrens at night, sometimes I’d be thinking… “What if it is true?” Of course, I’m only thinking that because it’s [...]

Sunset at Sea Isle City

This is what we got to see as we sat on the deck this week; beautiful sunsets over the bay and intercoastal waterways. What was really neat, is the man in the condo above us, when it’s a perfect sunset, he plays a military song that plays while the sun sets. In those last 3-4 [...]

Drifting Sands Motel, LBI

You can read more about the Drifting Sands motel in Long Beach Island here. We stayed at the Drifting Sands Motel this past week in Long Beach Island. This was my first time staying at this particular hotel/motel. I generally stay in one or two others, but they were fully booked. We liked that the [...]

50 Reasons to Love New Jersey

New Jersey often gets a bad rap from outsiders, but people who live here know our state has a lot to offer. We’re the land of beaches, diners and farm stands. While Jersey folk are divided on where North Jersey ends, and South Jersey begins (hint: Trenton and Route 95 in my eyes), everyone can [...]
