This past October we headed down the shore!
We missed the convention since the little guy was still too young, but we had promised the kids a trip down the shore. One of Mike's customers bought a motel down in Seaside Park and gave us a decent rate. We headed down on a Thursday evening--didn't get down there until around 9pm or so.
Friday we headed to Island beach--
The wind was crazy strong..but kids didn't let it stop them!
The layers ended up coming off..
Later on we went to the Bay instead..much calmer and there was a little playground for the kids.
We had adjoining rooms and a small kitchenette where we cooked pretty much all the meals..
erm, I should say that Mike cooked pretty much all the meals.
Games outside
Saturday morning we went out for breakfast..
The pool was heated, but they turned it up especially for us!
Later on we went to Seaside Heights and walked the boardwalk and got ice cream...
This guy was so good..the whole time.
We had a beautiful beach day..sunshine and all..
Monday was cool and rainy--we stopped in Sandy Hook to see the lighthouses..
This one wasn't open due to the holiday..
But this one was and was giving tours!
You had to be a certain height though, so only Dad and the big kids went.
The light..
And then it was homeward bound...
It was just a couple of days but we had a nice little getaway and celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary.
