Once again I was a shoobie and visited Atlantic City for the day….
A shoobie as defined by Urban Dictionary is:
“Regional nickname denoting a tourist to the southern New Jersey shore. This term originated in the 1920′s when tourists, visiting the beaches were easily identified by the shoeboxes the brought to carry their lunches.
2. n. Any person who looks out of place while at the beach. Usually identified by the wearing of black party socks with shorts and flip flops and/or a severe sunburn”
sidenote: I was not wearing black socks – but I did leave with a little sun burn….
When the train dropped me in A.C. - it was a little cloudy so I decided to visit WhiteHouse Subs – a hoagie/sub shop which has been open since 1946 and get some lunch… I had heard about this shop on the Food Network/Philadelphia Mag/New York Mag…..
the bread is made at this bakery across the street from this shop. This bakery was established in 1919!!!!!
The bread is delivered about 4 times a day.
Now I live in Philly – home of the cheesesteak and I have to say my turkey and cheese from Whitehouse Subs was REALLY YUMMY!
I packed up my sandwich and hit the beach – the sun finally came out – yeahoooo…
I try to set up near this beach bar – which has an awesome daytime dj ….
good tunes, sunshine, yummy sandwich – a good view of these good-looking lifeguards bringing in their rowboat, awesome water and waves…
after the beach I took a little walk on the boardwalk – the boardwalk in AC has some good stuff….
I said hello to a girl on a horse
and hello to Mr. Peanut
Sunday at work I made some granola and by some… I made enough for an army… thank goodness for a nice air-conditioned kitchen….
Sunday night was spent with family – saw my Nieces – here’s Kayleigh – she just got her ears pierced a belated 10th Birthday gift… cute!
Hope everyone had a great weekend – check out what Michelle and her family did this weekend www.6inthecity.com and add your own too!
I like the Mr. Peanut pic! Sounds like a nice weekend as a “shoobie!”
