Friday Hunt 2017.2.1

It is Friday and time for the second installment for the year of the fun meme Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa. And away we go...

Begins with 'A'. I think back to family vacations along the New Jersey shore at Atlantic City. I looked through my photo archives through four decades, so am using these for this week's favorite letter.

1965, the Villers kids & Dad riding on the boardwalk
1956. Grandpa in front of the long gone Traymore Hotel
1969, Grandpa & Aunt Terry, again in front of the Traymore
1978, Grandma Agnes (another 'A') in front of the first casino in AC
Sunset. From November 1981, the setting sun along the Mass. Turnpike near Worcester from the passenger seat of a Subaru. The old print held up well...
Inside. the time was the summer of 2003, inside our living room and our (hi-tech) computer of the day. Not blazing fast but safely inside and away from the elements. Thanks Teresa!

  1. ...Ralph,I still remember my one and only trip to "A"tlantic City back maybe 60 years ago. The boardwalk was wonderful and the sand was HOT! Have a nice week.

  2. What a great selection of vintage shots Ralph - that Traymore hotel sure was a big one! I love the bicycle shots - did you live close enough to do that, or were they rented bikes?

  4. Love all the old family photos. Looks like a lot of family fun. Great sunset! Ah, good old technology. Amazing how quickly it becomes outdated. Thanks so much for joining Friday's Hunt. Have a great rest of the week!

  5. What a wonderful collection of family photos. You are so blessed to have them. About the Traymore, your caption reads "long gone". What happened to it?

    Have a blessed weekend!
