Well folks. Here you have it-- ze FINALE. This is the last of the posts in the Beach Bum Letter series. It's been fun. *Just gonna say sorry in advance for taking so long to put the last three up :P*

Whew. We made it. Checked out (the maid people service thingy kinda surprised us as we were trying to get out of the condo, and then?
We breakFEASTED at Dumser's. It's funny-- we started the trip eating there, and then we ended the trip with it... After Dumsers, we took another long-awaited trip the the boardwalk. (We always hit the boardwalk before we leave town.)
It was amazing. By far, the best day on the whole vacation ever. I was almost super duper sad about leaving. (You know, the part of me that wasn't numbed by various family shenanigans...)
We paid the famous Trimper's Rides and Amusements a visit... that was awesome because 1) roller coaster and 2) this thing called the "Zipper". The pictures below may give you a better idea of how they work.... :P

| The Tidal Wave! I wish I could say these are my pictures... but they're not. Thanks, Google. |

| The view from the top is amazing... it faces the city, so you can see like, 10 blocks up the city strip! |
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then the Zipper:

| Wild looking thing, eh? Those things are basically cages you sit in-- as the whole thing moves, the individual car flips/spins freely with the momentum... :D. |
After getting our fix of adrenaline, we went souvenir shopping. I got this REALLY SOFT and REALLY COMFORTABLE ROYAL BLUE OC MD SWEATSHIRT :D.

| HA yeah I don't even have muscles. Or a good laptop camera, apparently XD |
We also stopped into a fudge shop. Jessica's Fudge Shop, to be exact. First of all, it smelled AMAZING. As we were browsing around and figuring out what we wanted to buy, I saw this sign on the wall behind their cash register:

| XD Perfectly describes most families.... |
But alas. The day came to an end.... our boardwalk parking bill was also getting to be outrageous XD So we left. And we left the city around 8:30ish pm. The drive back involved a stop at Wal-Mart (where I stayed in the car and tried to blog as best I could with a faint glimmer of wireless hotspot. I then fell asleep. The last thing I remember is thinking how good it would feel to sleep in my own bed again...
**Author's note** I ended up getting home at 5:30 AM. I went to sleep around 6:30, when the sun was thinking about coming up. This is due to the fact that I had to sort through our giant pile of backed up mail to find my school schedule for my classes... XD
Fun time.
