The New Jersey Shoreline

My uncle on my dad's side rents out a condo every year in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Now, I live in Connecticut. Why would I be going to New Jersey? Well, my family is almost entirely located in Pennsylvania. Their closest shore is in New Jersey (and no matter how much they hate it, they can't deny that). So, I spent the past few days in Wildwood Crest.

Now, I'm the only person in my family who doesn't hate New Jersey. The waves out there are amazing. The shore in general is just magnificent. Sure, I'm incredibly sore all throughout my body (and a wave smashing into the back of my knee, thereby cracking it, didn't help) - but we hardly get any waves in Connecticut.

Contrary to the stereotype of New Jersey being filled with traffic, we hardly hit any traffic on the way there or on the way home. Getting home (by way of NJ-47 North to NJ-55 North to NJ-42 South to I-295 North to US-1 North to I-287 North/East to Hutchinson Pkwy North to CT-15 North to I-91 North) hardly had any traffic, besides a bit of traffic (which we got around) in Camden, then Piscataway, and lastly in White Plains (which, to be fair, is in New York).

Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable trip.
