Under the Boardwalk

This song was going through my mind today. Me, a girl used to Riga, Latvia and the harshness of the cold in January or the snows of New York City walking in delightful balmy weather on the 12th day of January to the beach. I tell you it never ceases to amaze me. The seagulls were flying in a sky of blue, the Atlantic Ocean was rolling in, people were sunbathing and swimming. Something I just cannot imagine in January but perhaps I’ll participate come April.
So there I was just delighting in everything I saw. There was a delightful fountain where children were cooling off. In the photo, you can see the beach scene before me. I tried to capture some seagulls but they would have none of it. It seemed just like one big dream. Who would have thought that you could go to the beach and even sit under the boardwalk in January? Certainly not me.
How is the weather where you are?
I included the video of the song by Bette Midler which is a scene from the movie “Beaches”.

The weather is very nice today and was yesterday too. I loved the movie Beaches. It was so so sad. I am a Bette Midler fan.

I live next to a boardwalk and grew up on it. My parents would give my sister and I like $10 and a roll of quarters to use in the arcades so we would go to the beach for awhile, then have pizza for lunch, then go to the arcade. After we were done, we would meet up with them back at my father's business and go home. This was before the helicopter parent days. It was great! I had the BEST summers as a child. There's nothing like an NJ boardwalk.

Glad you have such wonderful memories and still love close by. I have to agree with you as I have fond memories of my summer vacation time in Atlantic City not casinos but boardwalk and beach and at Wildwood @NJChicaa now I love to wander to the beach and I am glad I live so close

@RasmaSandra I live half an hour or so north of Wildwood. Seaside Heights was where I grew up. MTV's Jersey Shore made it look awful but back in the 80's it was wonderful!!!!
