1. the thing i love most about driving in new jersey are the conditions of the roads the thing i hate most about driving in new jersey are the drivers 2. old blue houses leaning into each other like retired neighbors sharing meaningless gossip across worn fences seaglass chimes and driftwood gardens blossom for a summer then sleep with the coming of october fires 3. white feather flashes across wet erosions mirroring boats sailing shadowless across atlantic currents 4. the kids have never seen the ocean before and it received mixed reviews the oldest thought herself a mermaid while the youngest prefers a pool still they smiled like holidays having never seen the ocean before and it occurs to me that i have never seen it like this either 5. there is nothing like seeing your children discover new joys it is something that i can't put into words or other absolutes or abstractions other than it makes you remember what you are here for but i still think new jersey drivers still suck

And then there are Pennsylvania drivers that have never heard of the law, "KEEP RIGHT, PASS LEFT", (not drive in the same left lane from PA to the NJ shore...) And Seaside is NOT a fair representation of the NJ shoreline, head south to Ocean City, or to the Wildwoods or Cape May, all three have better beaches and no drop off into a deep gully just 10 feet from the beach...beyond that, Alex, I liked all your descriptions, but of course what does someone from PA know about driving anyway...LOL!
