We spent the night in a great Holiday Inn Express & Suites. We were all able to fit into a nice-sized suite. Just staying a hotel is such a treat for my kids that they didn't even complain about the rain. After a wonderful breakfast and a few more hours at the hotel waiting for the rain to let up, we decided to brave the elements and visit the boardwalk. Even with the rain, there was plenty to do - mini-golfing (pirate-themed with a black light tunnel to play through), laughing Sal, arcade games, beach and the surprise hit - holding parrots.

A stormy, but beautiful, day at the beach:

RUN!!!
They had so much fun chasing - ahem, being chased by the waves!
We met this gentleman and his three birds on our way out. It was such a neat surprise to end our time at the boardwalk.
We ended our time with a drive along the coast (admiring the dream homes and visiting the Surfing museum) then we grabbed ice cream before cutting our visit a bit short and heading home. Next time we'll try it with some sun:-)

So glad you guys were able to make the best of it and still have a wonderful time!
The boardwalk is a MUST in the summer when all the rides are open! :)
