But the winter is my favorite time in “The Woods”. I was born in May of 1960 and in June my family took me to our summer home here. I spent every summer in “The Woods” until I was 15 when we moved here. That was the first time I experienced the winter in a place I spent every summer as a kid.
The first time I saw snow on the boardwalk I was amazed, I remember just standing there thinking I was dreaming, “this cannot be real, I must be dreaming this” I said to my self. I could not believe my eyes, snow covered beaches, roller coasters and rides coated in snow and of course the boardwalk like I have never seen it before, perfectly snow covered and no footprints.
That was 38 years ago and I still love spending my winters in “The Woods” I do not want to go to Florida for the winter and sit on a hot sandy beach, no need for me to go to visit friends in St Thomas, South America or Aruba. I love Wildwood in the winter, it is favorite time of the year and always will be. I still get a thrill every year as the summer ends and the winter begins. See you snowbirds next summer!
