Growing up in NJ this was THE weekend of all weekends. This was the start of summer which actually would end up just being one LONGGGGG weekend until Labor Day weekend. Come Thursday you were packed and ready to hit "The Shore" anytime after lunch on Friday....do not pass go, do not collect $200. Do not make it 45 miles in under 3 hours

Get to the shore, claim your bedroom for the summer. Hang up your Cavarrici's and your wife beater T-shirts and hit the bars for Happy Hour. Don't sleep except on the beach from 11-2:30, shower, gel and back to Happy Hour somewhere different then the day before. This would go on every weekend until Labor Day.
I don't miss any of it.....
