Avalon NJ

My beach house in Avalon NJ

The first vacation spot I chose to write about is Avalon NJ. Avalon has brought me many fun summers that I will never forget. One of my favorite things about Avalon is the beach. I love relaxing in the warm sand or going into the ocean to cool of from a hot day. I like to take a walk down to the jetty and look for shells and sea life. There is also a myth that spider monkeys live inside of the jetty. I no longer believe this but it was fun to think about when I was younger.

 I also like going into town. There are so many good restaurants to eat at and fun things to do. I like going into town and getting pizza from Circle Pizza and then going to a frozen yogurt shop called Toppings. Avalon also gives me freedom. Avalon is a place where I can go into town with friends and be myself. I feel free and not constantly constrained by my parents. I like being able to be independent and feel more grown up.

Another thing I like about Avalon is being able to bike wherever you go. We rarely use a car in Avalon. Once you pull into your driveway, bikes will be your new form of transportation. Biking is also a great way to stay on shape. From time to time I wil go on an extreme bike ride with my uncle. We will ride through most of Wildwood. We will go on the boardwalk all the way to the end of Wildwood.

One of my favorite things that I look forward to every summer is Island Water Sports in Stone Harbor. (http://www.iwsnj.com/home.aspx) Island water sports have many fun things to do in the bay like water skiing and water boarding. One thing that we do every year is a large trampoline. It is a large floating trampoline. There are also slides and other fun things to do. They only let you on for 45 minutes and they go very fast. I hope to do this for many summers to come.

This summer will be the first summer that we will have a pool at our beach house. I look forward to many days at the pool along with days at the beach. We are also getting an outdoor TV so we can watch TV while in the pool. I have always loved to watch the summer Olympics and can’t wait to watch them in the comfort of my pool. Avalon is my paradise that I will continue to enjoy for the rest of my life.
