GO TO THE JERSEY SHORE
I never thought I would say it but we discovered the Jersey Shore last weekend. For those that do not know, I am VERY partial to the Carolina beaches (especially a little place called Hilton Head). Since HHI is about 13 hours away and the Shore is only 1-2 hours you have to do what makes the most sense. Some friends offered us their house for the weekend and so we went to LBI to a little town called Beach Haven. It was great. I parked my car on Thursday night and did not turn on the ignition until Sunday. We walked, biked, ran and of course pushed David around in his little car. The sand was soft between our toes and the boys even braved the water. I dipped my feet in and said it just was not worth it, the summer is just beginning I will have plenty of opportunities. David LOVED the beach especially if you count all of the fists full of sand that he ate. I am glad, because I really was not going to give him a choice. There is something so therapeutic about the waves crashing, and walking along the beach feeling the sand between your toes and looking out to the horizon and beyond. Oh I just love summer and I love the beach! Don't get me wrong the Jersey Shore is not Hawaii or Hilton Head; but, it is 2 hours away and that is good enough!
What are some of your favorite summer activities? Please share, especially those that live back East.
David can't get enough of this car and we can't get enough of him

Baby pool in the backyard. Sand box in the back yard. Baby in jogging stroller while I run. (Insert inviting friends too!) When you can't get enough: Libraries usually have little programs here and there.
how fun!!! i wish the ocean was 1-2 hrs away. that sounds amazing.
little david is so cute. i miss you!
ps. i second the sand box comment. my kids LOVE the sandbox. best purchase ever. we splurged on a nice one and year after year the kids are out there all day long! its heavenly.
Sounds like a great time. Having lived so near the beach in Cali I miss it a lot! When Dawn was younger she really enjoyed the kiddie pool and it was a nice time for me to catch some sun and soak my toes.
Such cute pictures and I second the therapeutic effects of the ocean! See you at the beach! xo
Never bee to that part of the Jersey Shore. We'll have to go there this summer. We usually go to Myrtle Beach in August with Rob's family for vacation. Love the beaches there!!
I have just read some of your blog for the 1st time! How great! David is VERY CUTE! I am jealous we don't have any ocean close by, AND that you went to Europe!
Glad to see you guys have embraced Jersey in all its glory! Granted, it's not Hawaii but the kids don't care and we always have a blast! We'll have to plan some shore trips this summer.
