    It's that time of year again when writing about amusement parks and beaches will happen because I'm in desperate need of a vacation and relaxation. And last year I found out about Morey's Piers in New Jersey. Granted I never thought of New Jersey as a hot spot, but there is a lot offered for families and so it quickly became a vacation stop MUST.

    Wildwood vacations hold the promise of fun for any family of music lovers which mine is. There are concerts galore on the piers thanks to Radio Disney. Beginning Monday, June 29, Morey's Piers will host weekly live concerts featuring up and coming stars. Every Monday through August 31, guests can catch a free concert on Mariner's Landing pier. Concerts are at 1 pm and 4 pm, with an artist meet and greet following each performance.

    On top of the concerts, Morey's Piers has three huge amusement piers and two waterparks.

    Planning your Jersey Shore beach vacation is easy peasy, too. You find a place to stay and don't have to worry about the cost of entertainment because the concerts are free. So for those of you who can't afford a lavish vacation cruise or safari you don't need to fret, this is a vacation hot spot for those on a budget.

    Wildwood offers free fireworks every Friday from June 26 to September 4th on the beach at Pine Avenue, Wildwood. Summer fireworks extravaganza. 10:30 p.m. There are tons of entertainment freebies offered you just have to get out there and live it up!
