 Fireworks light up the sky over the Atlantic I watched the fireworks from the roof of a high rise a few blocks from the Oceanfront last Sunday, Independence Day. There is something pretty surreal about being that high up in the sky watching fireworks at what felt like “eye level.” I have to admit I’m spoiled now and nothing less will do!

A Day in the Life
 With the scorching temps we’ve had this week, it’s no wonder the beach has been super busy. Wanting to get in on the fun, I took a few hours off work the other day and headed down to my favorite spot on the sand. It wasn’t long before I joined scores of others in the water and man, I have to say, it was exactly what I needed!

 - OBWP is fun for all ages!!
I think water parks bring out the kid in all of us. That’s why, on a recent Saturday afternoon, even though it was very hot and I knew the place would be packed, I agreed to take my daughter to meet some friends at Ocean Breeze Water Park. We’ve had season passes for years so we can go any day of the week and avoid the crowds, but you only live once, right?
It’s like that Disney commercial where that mother and her daughter walk past a window and we see her reflection turn from a woman into a child herself. That’s how I feel at Ocean Breeze.

I think everyone loves celebrating the July 4th holiday weekend; I know it’s one of my all-time favorites!
Come tomorrow morning, I’ll be all set to head out to enjoy a day down on the sand, basking in the glorious sun and taking advantage of the great mid-80’s temperatures we’ve been having. On Sunday, my family and I plan to celebrate Independence Day at the Stars & Stripes Explosion, a showcase of great live music at the Oceanfront capped off by a breathtaking fireworks display over the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re like us, you’ll grab your beach blankets and head down early to snag a few spots in the sand before the “oohs” and “aahs” start at 9:30 p.m. (more…)
