So- I think I talked about this recently... but on my summer Bucket List I wanted to go to the Point Pleasant Boardwalk... maybe I didn't mention that... I don't remember but I just did this yesterday- July 8th my time... and it was a lot of fun!
The Point Pleasant Boardwalk was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. My parents and grandparents used to take me. We were so excited to finally bring my niece... but I was also pretty excited to just go for myself... not going to lie. I love it there! I don't really do the rides anymore- I did go on the Carousel with my niece and my sister and brother in law... but yeah. There aren't tons of rides for adults- which is fine but it's still fun!
My big thing when I was a kid were the arcades... and that is what I'm most disappointed in right now. It is IMPOSSIBLE to win at the claw machines. I used to be sooo good at the claws... but then after Hurricane Sandy- they changed it and made it a lot more difficult to win at the games... so it was really difficult... we maybe spent $5 on it all together- didn't win anything. I tried for a minion and a deadpool. My sister came really close to winning a Cookie Monster... but she didn't. It was kind of sad... but we tried anyway. Hopefully it will get better one day. They have some midway type games... didn't play any of those- but those can be fun.
The food is always fun though! They have every sort of carnival or boardwalk food you could want there. For lunch we went to a place called Martel's- which has a regular grill, they have a tiki bar... and then we have the Lobster Shack which is new- and that's where we ate. I don't remember if it was called Lobster Shack... but it was something like that. I had an Avocado Burger- they had a good selection of seafood and non seafood options on the menu. My mom and I had burgers and they were pretty good. My sister had fish and chips and she liked them. My dad got a good Lobster Roll that he liked. It was nice. I love Martells for their Pork Roll and Cheese... and this is a nice little addition to that restaurant.
And my parents got fudge and nonpareils... I'm excited to eat some of that. My dad and I got Waffle Ice Cream, my sister got Lemonade. They also have a Kohr's ice cream stand- which has some good stuff.. I think they have a good orange juice type of drink their. Dippin Dots- which you can get in Soda Floats now... which is awesome. Funnel Cake is a favorite of mine... I didn't have any of those... but I get excited seeing the options and what other people do.
So yeah we just went on 2 rides... well my niece did. She went on the Train with her mommy and the Carousel. She had fun until they started to move and then she got scared. She seemed to like everything else about the boardwalk though! She loves being outside on nice days and she was happy to people watch and walk around. So that was a lot of fun!
Overall everyone had a great day! It was a lot of fun and I thought I'd share that with you guys!
