We\u2019ve been visiting Wildwood since she was two years\u2019 old and have been nearly every summer since, missing only the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic. As guests of Wildwood natives Patty Bebee Wilson, Scott Wilson and their daughter Wylie (and now husband John), we have been accepted as part of the lovely tribe of locals who have watched my daughter grow every year, reaching new milestones every summer.\u00a0 We look forward to traveling to Forget-Me-Not and enjoying those scenic beach days. Our Boardwalk nights include Morey\u2019s Pier, Mack\u2019s Pizza, Curley\u2019s Fries, and being careful to \u201cwatch the tram car please!\u201d There\u2019s also brunch on Sunday at Surfside West Diner.  Wildwood is where Simone learned to boogie board and swim in the ocean, where she developed a respect for the majesty of the ocean and the wildlife within it. Wildwood has been a beautiful haven for us &#8211; myself a land-locked 17-year transplant from the Midwest to Philly and my daughter, a West Philadelphia born-and-raised city kid.\u00a0  When Simone was in elementary school, she proudly proclaimed to someone, \u201cWe summer in Wildwood!\u201d Not quite, but we love Wildwood, and certainly feel that Wildwood loves us back!\u00a0 Many thanks to the Wilsons and their circle of extended family and friends who have made our relationship with Wildwood so special.  <em>See you this summer!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"572\" height=\"563\" src=\"http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3712.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3712.jpeg 572w, http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_3712-300x295.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1013\" src=\"http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nicole-and-simone-22-summer-1-1024x1013.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1705\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nicole-and-simone-22-summer-1-1024x1013.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nicole-and-simone-22-summer-1-300x297.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nicole-and-simone-22-summer-1-768x760.jpg 768w, http:\/\/sunbythesea.com\/ww\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nicole-and-simone-22-summer-1.jpg 1141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><br><\/em><\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to our own personal local tour guide and friend Patty BeBee Wilson by Nicole Leapheart \u00a0This summer my daughter, Simone, turns 15.
