August 8th, before my adventures were put on hold, one highlight was our visit to Ocean Grove.
Ocean Grove, is a popular vacation spot in New Jersey known for its Victorian homes,
boutique shopping, restaurants and beautiful beaches.
Ocean Grove is also home to Tent City,
a colony of canvas tents attached to wooden cottages that provide all of the comforts of home.
One might wonder why anyone would want to live in a tent for the summer...
Saturday night Tent City came alive with lanterns, lights and a music concert.
I have written about Ocean Groves Tent City before, you can read one of those entries here.
We usually go for a walk here at least once per summer.
The tents are emptied out and closed up in early September.
I believe there is a waiting list of about 15 years in order to rent one of these and they usually stay in families and are passed from one generation to the next.
The people who live here love it!
That seems to be a nice place dear Debbie. And I like purple or violet...not only because of my name. Thanks for your kind visit to my blog.

Sending good wishes, may September be a kind month to you and hubs.
Here are some {{{hugs}}} for you.
All the best Jan
That is cool! I love the idea and look of it!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great place and great photos... Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteOMG how fun. These are so cool. That's a long waiting list and I can see why they would remain in a family. Who wouldn't want to stay here for the summer.
ReplyDeleteHello and Happy September Debbie,
