Yesterday was exciting—a trip to the Jersey shore, specifically, Seaside Heights. Seaside is a fairly typical shore town, a bit more garish than some others, and now famous for the cable TV hit ‘Jersey Shore’. Val, Steve, Maggie, Lucy and Annabelle have been there vacationing, and we met them for the day. We walked the boardwalk, played arcade games, had candy apples, rode, some of us, the roller-coasters and the log flume, then had lunch including pizza, sausage and peppers, fries, fried oreos, fried chicken and other health foods. In the afternoon we hit the beach and the gorgeous white sand. The ocean was pretty warm and the surf a bit on the rough side which made it that much more fun jumping over, diving under and riding the waves. We all learned to deal with the choppy surf.
We assumed the surf was up from the impending visit of that windbag, Irene.
After showers at the motel, we went out for a Tex-Mex dinner back on the boardwalk and a chance to experience the flashing neon. As the sun set, we left for home after good-byes and thank-yous to Val et al. The one thing Seaside lacks, as far as I can tell, is anything in a pastel shade.
Back in VT, I can report there was 1.75 inches of rain plus a shower while the boys and I were picking corn and tomatoes for dinner.
New blooms: chrysanthemum.
Seeing Seaside Heights Sights.
We racked up high scores and won thousands of points which were redeemed for a few toys.
The rides were a trill and damp.
Some of us worked harder than others.
Nice sand.
Most of the time there were waves.
