Partial ocean view
This weekend, we were at a hotel on the beach.  I booked the room partially based on the "partial ocean view."  Well, the only way you could see the ocean was from a little window high up above the toilet!  Do you think that should count?  I don't.
I guess it should have said "partial view of the water." Ha ha ha.
I'll put up a few pics.  It was Cape May, NJ.   I think I prefer Wildwood.  Both beach towns are at the southern end of NJ.  Here's what's the same and what's different:
Cape May vs. Wildwood
The beaches of Wildwood are free and have the finest sand.  Cape May had some nice sand too, but is $5 for the day.  Both places are also big on miniature golf and candy/fudge shops.  Architectually, Wildwood is known for its kitschy '50s hotels.  Cape May has beautiful Victorian houses and bed-and-breakfasts.  Wildwood has a boardwalk with amusements, so it's a much better place for kids.  Cape May is better for us fogies.  It has a boardwalk too, but only a few shops on it.  For me, Wildwood also has the memories of the once a year my parents took me and my bro there as a kid.  It hasn't changed, really.  Not like, ahem, Asbury Park.
