Wildwood, NJ

The new Convention Center in Wildwood, NJ
Today (Monday, 9/11/06) was day 2 of my five-day trip to Wildwood, NJ. I only have 16 passengers, and the schedule includes lots of free time for walking the boardwalk (our hotel is only a block away), the beach, shopping, etc., so this is probably one of the easiest overnight trips I've done since I started for Hagey's.

We saw two shows today, both at the new Convention Center in Wildwood (shown in the photo above -- click for a larger view). This morning was two singers and impersonators who did many famous singers from the past and present. Tonight we had a nice sit-down dinner, then dancing and a comedian, Dick Lord, did a great show, very funny. There were about 1,000 people in attendance at both of the shows today -- mostly senior citizens.

The group went on a two-hour dolphin watch this afternoon. Because of parking issues, I didn't get to go along, but it sounds like I didn't miss much -- they only saw one dolphin the whole afternoon. It was sunny here, but very windy, and so the boat stayed mostly in the bay. The best areas to see dolphins are out in the ocean a short way off shore.

Five years since 9/11/2001 ... that's hard to believe. I've been watching some of the specials on TV tonight, and like most people, I suppose, reliving some of the events and memories of that day.
