I guess the beach doesn’t sound like a bad proposition, especially during the cold season of the day. Of course, I’m thinking of a nice beach in Puerto Rico or elsewhere in the Caribbean rather than lovely New Jersey! ๐
That said, I’ve never been much of a beach person. After a few hours, I tend to get bored and want to do something else! ๐

I hear ya. I’ve been to Arizona, once…just over the state line at Hoover Dam from Nevada. My ex-Marine graduated high school in Boulder City, NV and as a teen, worked at the snack bar that sat on the state line.
Geez…that was way back in late 2000. We had flown to Las Vegas for a vacation and visited with his family.

I grew up going to the beach with parents and paternal grandparents. I would not want to live there. Too many hurricanes.

Not sure you would want our beach currently. Being sandblasted by frozen sand isnโt a great feel.
That baking creation is so good

Yeah. You are quite a bit NORTH of our location.
I am fascinated with the intricate work on these gingerbread homes.
