The Ultimate Jersey Shore Bucket List
There's so much to do here at the Jersey Shore...it seems as though there should be a list of 'must do' things.
Can you finish this list before the end of the summer?
This is far from a complete list, and will require plenty of input on your part...let's come up with The Ultimate Jersey Shore Bucket List!
