Ogunquit Maine without a doubt. it's beautiful, the Marginal Way is a gorgeous walk for almost any fitness level and it's a short ride to Old Orchard Beach, with a full boardwalk with rides for the kids.
Staying in Ogunquit in season can be pricey, but not as pricey as the Jersey Shore! it's much cleaner, the beaches are FREE, parking doesn't cost a fortune and there are tons of cheaper, clean hotels to be had out of town.
Since we've been to Florida 3 times in the past year and 1/2 (and have plans to move there in the near future) - I have to say, although I was excited to see Daytona Beach .... I wasn't too impressed. However, Clearwater Beach was really beautiful with it's white sand .... I'd never seen white sand before! And I totally dig the Palm trees, lol.
Ahhh Umass...another thing in common. I think anyway. Do you mean Newport on the East Coast, or in California? I grew up in the Califronia Newport area. Hard to be away from those beaches! I just had my kids at the beach this weekend...and it is soooo relaxing and beautiful...the sound of the waves, the smell of the water and the screaming seagulls. In high school we had to guard our lunches so carefully....never able to just spread them all out on the table like a real meal, 'cause the seagulls would swoop in and eat anything they could get...even in the center of a table with people all around it! last weeken we had a hotel rrom on the beach. I woke up in th emiddle of the night, forgetting where I was and thought, because of the sound of the pounding surf, that we were in the midst of a huge thunderstorm! Heheeh.
lol sorry mom, I meant the east coast! but I love California soo soo much: my Dad took us there several times and I would love to go with my family someday. It is awesome.
I miss camping, I actually use to do that a lot when I was younger. I was reading an article about New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest. You hike up several miles and there are 8 huts on top of the mountain. It's run kind of like a Bed and Breakfast. It's a Cabin with communal bunk rooms, and family-style meals ..... Something like that would be so cool! Nearby are cascading waterfalls, and some of the Country's most dramatic landscapes. It's about 350 mi. from NY. ..... maybe one day, lol.

We are looking for a someone to sit in our Bayonne home, for a few hours (usually 7:00pm to around 12 or possibly 1:00 am) one or two nights out of the week and/or possibly a few hours during the weekend for our 3 well behaved children, ages 13, 11 and 4.
There is not a set schedule, it's for when my husband and I decide to go to dinner/movie, etc...
Pay is around $25.00 - $30.00 - more if the hours are extended. Please note that it is NOT $25.00 - $30.00 PER HOUR. That is the amount to be paid for the few hours they are watched.
If you lije camping, but worry about all the fuss with little ones..try Yellowstone. they have cabins and rustic, but homey motels (some with communal bathrooms...but you can get a room with your own bath if you book early...like as in months and months early. Extremely cheapb/c its a national park....and SOOOO much outdoors to do! Cannot recommend that enough.

I need a babysitter for three weeks Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm. My place or yours. I live in Jamaica near hillside ave and parsons blvd
I work 8:30 to 5pm and will need a reliable adult to help take care of a 10 year old boy and 9 year old girl. They are both well behaved and take instructions well. Their school starts early week of September.
If you are looking for extra money this will be nice for you.
I don't make much money and can only pay $100/week for both children.
If interest please call email back and let me know or email 347 819 6247 If on weekend, call please because I can't check my emails on weekends
My favorite, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina! I went a few years back with some friends and had a great time. Love the shopping too! Can you say "factory outlet mall"!
Me too, mom. We used to go on picnics at a beach when I was little that you could cook, and do bonfires and stuff. I don't remember what it was called, but this picture reminds me of those good times.
Off topic Did anyone else tear up tonight as those beautiful children marched across a field representing diffrent ethnic backgrounds? The Olympics opening ceromonies were spectacular. I thought the children carrying the flag was very touching.What a wonderful sight.
