Feeling Old In Wildwood New Jersey! Man I Miss My Youth

The photo above was edited to bring out the colors and the one below was raw. It was a drive by photo on the morning we left Wildwood so not the best quality but at least it wasn't raining like the two days were stayed. 

Last week we headed to Wildwood with a stop over in Cape May to take the ferry to see my sister-in-law in Delaware. It may have been the worst week due to Hurricane Erin but things can always be worse right?! We had a good time despite the rain and cold but what I noticed most was that Wildwood use to be so much fun when I was younger.

Was it the weather? 

Was it my age? I mean I went in my 20s and I am now in my 50s. It just didn't have the same feel. 

My husband and I haven't been in 30 years and he is already thinking about a trip there next year but I am thinking been there, done that.

We found really nice places to eat and every night had to take hot showers because we were cold from the rain but it felt really different.

My friends and I used to love Wildwood. We had such a good time even if it was just to walk around for the day or a weekend. There was always something to do. There were people to meet. Stores to hang out in. Bands to watch. Rides to go on. Has it changed or am I misremembering?
