I don't blame you at all. I moved from the boardwalk side of the island to the bay side just to try to get some peace for these 3 months.
More tourists should come down in September if school isn't an issue. It's warm enough to do whatever you want, rentals are dirt cheap, and everything you want is still open.
My fiancee is visiting family, my stack of things to read is about 20 high, and I have 2 library loans due this week. I'll be camped out on the deck with the dogs. It will be glorious.
Yup, September is generally when i spend the most time at my dads. Summer is just too crowded to really enjoy it. That, and my dad gets cold very easily and isnt as willing to blast the air conditioning at night to a level that suits my sleeping needs.
