The Ocean City New Jersey Bucket List II: The Second Wave: 100 More Ways to Have a Real Ocean City Experience

Why Another Bucket List? No one was more surprised at the overwhelming success of my first book than I. It was a lot of fun to write and I know many people thoroughly enjoyed reading it, based upon their emails and comments. Because of this response, I began to think about writing a second book. This thought became a reality when I started a list of the things I had forgotten, including suggestions from readers and new things I discovered after the first book was published. As the list grew, I knew a Bucket List II was in the works. This time I wanted to include some "experiences" for kids to do on their own. I watched my grandsons and other youngsters and realized how much fun they have being kids, just doing kid stuff. So, I have incorporated kid items throughout the book. Some might be specifically for the young (set up a lemonade stand) but most can be checked off by the "young at heart" as well I hope you are challenged again and discover more ways of experiencing our wonderful city. Enjoy and start checking off items
