So while in NJ we did mostly eating. I wanted to do more time walking the boards but the heat and lack of parking did not cooperate. Plus I wasn't caling all the shots.
Thursday was drinks at the beach bar in Asbury Park. It was a lovely afternoon. We did walk some boards there oh and had some ice cream.
For some reason we went out for pizza after that. So not needed but you can't miss Squan Tavern when you are there.
Friday started with a crazy bagel with cream cheese and salmon. I should have stayed with just cream cheese.
We drove all along the coast. As far south as Seaside Park all the way to Sandy Hook. Yes, a long drive. Lots of destruction. Lots of construction.
For lunch/dinnerr we headed back to Point to The Wharfside. Wanted to eat on the Patio but man oh man the heat. Hush puppies, cole slaw, salad, steamers, lobster, rice pudding. Yes, I did not need the rice pudding.
Saturday was the cemetery run. Wow. Is this something I will need to maintain in my future? We drove by the house I grew up in. The house my parents used to live in. Where my mom tossed my dads ashes. A whole lot of gas burned. Pork roll and cheese for lunch.
Off to the wedding. It was wonderful to see so many people I haven't seen in so long. Too much to really recount.
Late night afterwards trying to figure out the family tree.
Sunday. We went driving somewhere. Gosh where did we go? I drovr and everything. Oh that's right - a little shopping in Spring Lake and Manasquan. Did not find what I was looking for.
Then back up ti Monmouth Beach for a relaxing evening by the water.
A good trip. Miss some of it. Mostly the people. The humble lifestyle. The lack of pretention.
