“Down the Shore”

How awesome – we live like an hour’s drive from the Jersey shore. It’s a “little slice of heaven” for a day. The boardwalk. The amusement rides. Ice cream, caramel popcorn, and oh yeah, the ocean. Nothing beats the heat like a trip to the beach…or, as they say in Jersey, “Goin’ down the shore.”

Hang Ten Bro!

Today was no exception. 95 degrees and humid. Like you were stuck in front of a giant puppy’s breath. A smoggy, stifling sauna. But hey, only an hour to the shore, the rides and the boardwalk, remember? No better way to play hooky for a day.

Get there and it’s always the same debate: the ocean first, or the boardwalk? The ocean usually wins. My kids could be members of the Polar Bear Club if needed…who cares what the ocean temp is?

It truly is the great escape. And you don’t really need money to attend (though it helps!). Just kids…and a childish attitude. Praise God!
