Georgia’s 5 Faves: Crabs, Rides and More!

Georgia Georgia Georgia

My husband and I have been spending some time in North Wildwood this Spring and we've had fun exploring this new-to-us area.  We usually head to Sea Isle City or Stone Harbor when we go down the shore.  So the Wildwoods are new territory for us!  One restaurant a friend of mine told me about is Two Mile Landing in Wildwood Crest.  My husband is a sucker for all you can eat blue claw crabs, so I knew this would turn into one of new favorite restaurants.  The crabs were delicious, so was the calamari (my entree) and the drinks are fresh and delicious.  The service leaves a bit to be desired, but the servers are young, so hopefully they will get better by the time the summer season rolls around.  Despite the poor service, the sunset views make it all worthwhile.

Continuing with my WIldwood theme this week, this was my view last weekend as I sat on the beach and listened to the roller coaster in the background.  Then and there I decided I needed to ride that coaster.  It's called Fly!  And it's on Morey's Surfside Pier.  I love a good roller coaster and this one was great!  I was able to snag the front seat (benefit of enjoying the shore before the summer....) and enjoyed every second of the fast coaster!  Would you believe me if I told you that Fly! was the first boardwalk ride I've ever been on?  Hopefully that will all change this summer!

Grapefruit must be the "it" fruit this season because I've seen several grapefruit beers in stores and at the local bars.  This Grapefruit Shandy by Leinenkugel is a great one.  It's light and sweet, but not too much... perfect for an afternoon happy hour beverage on a sunny Saturday.

I told you this week was all about indulgences....  Continuing on with the drinking theme...  This Georgia Peach flavored vodka is deadly.  As in, it tastes JUST LIKE A PEACH.  Danger.  Mix it with some club soda and a lime.  Perfection.

Diane's Paitisserie sent over this beautiful birthday cake for me a few weeks ago.  It was delicious!  And huge!  I still have a big piece that I wrapped up and put in the freezer.  A very sweet gesture and much appreciated - thank you Diane's Paitisserie!!
