My father worked the 4-12 shift at GE Silicones in Waterford NY and his co-workers were always begging for him to have my mother make those eggplant sandwiches for them.

You are making me very hungry. Like your mom, my mom would also pack sandwiches, but my dad would drive us to Coney Island, N.Y. and we'd eat under the boardwalk. He was from N.Y. so that was his youthful remembrance.....it wasn't until my husband and I were dating at age 17 that we began going to the Jersey shore.......
We also would take our own children to Hampton Beach N.H. when they were little........lately, we use it as a rest break and then head up the Maine coast on the coastal road.......takes longer but nicer than the Maine Pike.
Do you remember the older roads? It took much longer. You'd go through Manchester, New Hampshire.
Now, it's very fast to get from Vermont to the New Hampshire seacoast.
