If anyone reading this ever gets a chance to visit Ocean City, N.J., make sure you hit up George’s Candies.
I’m an ice cream freak—and this place has the best ice cream in the history of the world. Specifically, it’s the macaroon flavor—coconut, chocolate bits, vanilla ice cream … awesome, awesome, awesome.
On a side note, beaches fascinate me. There’s a circle of life thing that goes on, even though most people never pay it much mind.
You’ve got the little kids, jumping through the waves, begging their folks for treats, digging castles in the sand.

You’ve got older parents, letting their teenagers go off.
You’ve got grandparents, holding on for dear life.
And so it goes …
