Today we went to the Jersey Shore for probably the last swim session of the summer. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE it there. I love getting out of the car and feeling the sticky air, I love hearing the waves before we see them. I love that first glimpse of the ocean, it's always exhilarating. I love people watching, I love jumping the waves, I love to attempt boogie boarding. Tonight we stayed late enough to watch the real boogie boarders and surfers. We don't usually stay that late, they have to wait for the lifeguards to leave at 5, and it seems like they don't really start showing up until close to six; it was really fun to watch them. I love all the beautiful houses in shore towns, and I also love the not so beautiful houses. I love the boardwalk (although if you stay too late, it's not so great to have young kids with you.) I just love it and if we ever move, I think the shore will be the one thing I will miss above everything else. In my dream life, we would own a Jersey Shore house and visit it often and stay for weeks in the summer . . . and then when we get old, we have grandma and grandpa camp at the shore. . . doesn't that sound wonderful? Although I'm fairly certain that the Jersey Shore doesn't really show up in Christopher's plans (real or imagined) for the future.

Did you find your camera? We miss you tons! It's super quiet around here. I can't wait to come see you guys in 5 weeks. It will be so much fun.
We played the snotty blond girl team on Wednesday night and beat them! Whoo Hoo!!!
I love your descriptions of the shore. I haven't seen the Jersey shore but it matches the ocean. I LOVE the ocean and miss it terribly. I am glad you guys can go there and we can live vicariously through you!
Aaaah, the Jersey Shore. I love that place, mostly cause of the good memories of going with you guys! Glad you're home and settled :)
Hi all you sweet girls! I too love your description of the things you love about the "Jersey Shore". I felt a lot the same way when we moved to Denver many years ago. My heart ached for the ocean - sight, smell and wonderful feel of the sand on my feet. Our realator said, "Oh, you won't even think of the ocean in a few months because of the beautiful mountains here". It has taken many, many years for me to love the mountains - the sunset can take my breath away. Hope school is happy and everyone stays healthy! xoxoxoxoxo
