Our Great Shore Escape

It's ironic but as hard as many of my friends and I worked to move to New York City, the one thing we want most this summer... is to get away from it.  

The rising temperature.

The increased tourist traffic.  

The lazy summer breeze.  

Would you want to stay in this concrete jungle?

And so getaway we did.  Our destination: Long Beach!

It seemed that everyone else in the city however had the same idea as our entire train to Long Island was packed with beach bags, towels, and the scent of sunscreen filled the cars.  Thirty minutes and one express train later we made it to shore!

It was certainly refreshing to have so much open space to be able to roam.

A very crowded Long Beach.

Sunset on the boardwalk.

Even at 10PM, the train home was getting full with passengers.

Sunburned and exhausted, we journeyed home.
