A Weekend at Morey’s Piers with the Kids: A Retro Adventure

morey's piers

I grew up spending summers in Atlantic City, so when I was invited to spend time at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ, I thought I knew what to expect: a weekend full of rides, riding the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, eating cotton candy and funnel cake on the boardwalk, playing rounds of ski ball, and more.  I expected the boardwalk to be slightly run down and possibly damaged by Hurricane Sandy, with a large element of tackiness.  I wasn't exactly expecting the Four Seasons.
