Summer Road Trip-The Beach

We've been on an old fashioned "kids in the car" summer road trip for the past week.   I managed only two quick posts from the road, so I'll try to catch up...even though I'm still not done posting about our spring break trip.  Oh well!

Connor spent a great week at Nana Camp and we arrived to pick him up and spend the weekend enjoying the Jersey Shore.  First up....a nice relaxing day at the beach.  We went to Seaside Park but chose one of the very first beaches up near Seaside Heights so that we could squeeze in a little boardwalk time.

Palmer's first trip to the Atlantic ocean.

I've been taking a similar picture of Connor during every beach trip of his life and he just gets more handsome every time.

Chilling out later in the Tommy Bahama Backpack Chair.  Lesson learned...all beach attendees, not just the grown ups, covet and demand their own beach chairs. 

The water was FREEZING but it didn't stop him. 

We snuck in a few rides on the Pier...this is is new one and is very cool.  The board spins as it moves on a wavy track up to a high point and then back down. 

It was a pretty much perfect day.  Not too hot.  No one was cranky.  There was pizza at the Sawmill and Skee Ball at the Casino Pier Arcade.   A great way to start the trip!
