****THE PICTURE OF THE TWO PEOPLE INSIDE THIS JOURNAL ON THE BOAT IN BARNEGET BAY IS MY LOVING PARENTS: JOHN & DOROTHY. MY BOTH PARENTS ARE DECEASED NOW. SINCE THEY BROUGHT ME TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE YEAR AFTER YEAR. I WANTED TO USE THIS PICTURE AS A TRIBUTE TO THEM.
I spent whole summers growing up in Beach Haven, NJ on Long Beach Island. We stayed on the Beach side most of my years in an over-garage apartment on Lily Avenue. On the corner of Lily was Lucy's Fudge Shop. mmmm mmmm mmmm The later years on the bayside. Then I rented with friends when I got older.
I have alot of great memories from LBI to share. Alot of pics too. I considered it my second home. It is still as wonderful today as it was when I was growing up. Some of the old stores & resturants still remain...Sink or Swim, Hands, Morrision's Resturant, Nardi's, Bay Village. Some places did not Carol's Resturant, (in the pines)(Anybody remember they had the story of the Jersey Devil on their menus?) , The Gally, Lucys Fudge Shop, The St Lucy Boat that was a store on the bay. (sadly lost to a hurricane)
But the island has still kept its charm and the people who spend their summers there are mostly all the same people who went down as kids. Bringing their family back to the best place on the Jersey Shore....LBI!
