Medford Lakes - a typical lake view - early evening in spring - kids canoeingLocated in: Medford Lakes, NJ
One of the great benefits of living in South Jersey is that the Jersey Shore and it's beaches are within easy reach by car, which allows South Jersey residents the ability to go to the beach for the day or the afternoon and return home in time for dinner and still have the evening.
Friends of ours decided, last minute, to go to the beach for the Sunday afternoon this past Memorial Day weekend with their kids and invited us to go along. We accepted the invitation, as our original plans had been canceled and we wanted to spend some time with them.
The weather was beautiful and in the 70's, a perfect day to be outside. So off we went.
We like to take the scenic route and enjoy the ride as we go -- there's less traffic and we get to our destination in about the same length of time as other routes. The Jersey Shore is made up of a variety of communities, each having their own flavor. We enjoy them all, whether it's Long Beach Island, Cape May or even Atlantic City for a show. Our destination this time was Ocean City, a great place to take families.
Upon arrival, I was surprised at the traffic and the amount of vehicles that were going into the shore community. We soon found street parking and arrived on the beach (which is free this time of year).
While not packed like in July and August, a lot more people than I expected were out on the beach sunbathing. The ocean temperature was too cold this time of year for most people, but that didn't stop some brave souls from briefly going into the water.
I'm don't enjoy laying on the beach like my wife does, so I like to walk the boards for exercise. The 3-mile long boardwalk is a great place to walk or jog while taking in all the smells, sights, and sounds.
The boardwalk was crowed. People were out enjoying the sun, visiting the shops, enjoying the food and amusements. There was a large audience watching free, live entertainment in front of the Music Pier provided by a local chorus of senior citizens singing Broadway tunes and even tap dancing. They obviously were enjoying themselves as much as the crowd watching.
The seagulls were out in force, circling the beach and boardwalk, adding their squawking to the sounds of crashing waves. Mixed with the smell of the ocean and the aromas coming from the various food stands, it helps create the wonderful ambiance that I associate with the Jersey Shore.
After everyone was finished on the beach, we treated ourselves to snacks and purchased the obligatory box of Salt Water Taffy rolls to enjoy back home. (My family also enjoys getting refills of Johnson's Caramel Popcorn when they come to Ocean City.)
We then loaded ourselves in the car and returned home to our friends' house to enjoy a barbecue dinner and relax.
That's life, South Jersey style!

Yesterday, Medford Township celebrated the holiday it's annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremonies. It was lead off by the Shawnee High School Marching Band, followed by kids in their decorated bikes, local honorees, officials, community groups and a long line of police, fire and emergency vehicles from Medford and the surrounding communities of Medford Lakes, Southampton, Shamong, Evesham and Tabernacle townships and the Forest Service. At the conclusion of the parade, the traditional wreath laying ceremony was held at the War Memorial.
VFW Post 7677 hosted the activities in conjunction with Medford Township officials.
Mr. William F. Bielec, World War II veteran and 30 year resident of Medford was honored as the Grand Marshall of this year's parade. Mr. Bielec fought in Europe in World War II, rising to the rank of Army Captain. During the war he was part of the 4th infantry serving under Omar Bradley and was part of the initial landing force at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star. Serving in combat forces until the conclusion of the war he participated in the Battle of the Bulge and witnessed the liberation of Norhausen Concentration Camp.
The ceremonies began with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, then Prayer by the VFW Chaplain, Welcome/Opening Comments by Medford officials, the Laying of the Wreath, Flag Raising and 21-Gun Salute and ending with the playing of Taps. Music was provided by the Hobo Band of Pitman.

Yesterday, Medford Lakes celebrated with it's traditional Memorial Day Parade lead off by the Shawnee High School Marching Band, followed by herds of kids in their decorated bikes, and then followed by local honories, officials and a long line of police, fire and emergency vehicles from Medford Lakes and the surrounding communities of Medford, Southampton, Shamong, Evesham and Tabernacle townships and the Forest Service.
It was quite a large group of kids that participated, Medford Lakes owes a lot of it's vitality to the youth and young families in the community as well as those who are raised families and are still active in the community.
As always, the highlight of this event is when the parade ends up for memorial ceremonies at the Borough's municipal building. The national anthem, playing of Taps, offering of words and a time of silent prayer in memory of those who gave their lives and the sacrifices of their families was made and the lowering of the flags to half-mast was carried out by local officials, VFW veterans and the local Boy Scouts. It was a very solemn and heart felt time for all observing the event.
(Note: Prior to the parade, there was the annual marathon run.)
