Memorial Day at the Shore

Once again we were able to spend the Memorial Day weekend kicking off the beach season by going to the NJ Shore. This time we decided to visit places we haven't been in a while, such as Seaside Heights boardwalk and Island Beach State Park. Inside the park we were able to enjoy pristine beaches and see the what the peninsula looks like in it's natural state. There are some points where the bay and ocean are very close. At one such spot we found a little gathering point on the bay side where there was a house boat selling hotdogs and drinks to those gathered. They even offered to bring some to us on the pier, but we had just eaten, but we liked the idea.

We rode cousin CJ's new scooter, fired up the grill and rode some bikes. It was a great weekend and look forward to many more in Point Pleasant Beach (the PPB).

Mother's Day in Atlanta


In May we decided to drive down to Atalanta and surprise my Mom and Dad for Mother's Day. They were there visiting my aunt and grandmother so we decided we'd make the most of it and join them. We went on a garden tour of some amazing homes where we admired the creativity of the home owners and took some notes for our future garden.


We also had very enjoyable visits with Grandmother Brown and aunt Carpie.

Visit from Cousin Andy



In April my cousin Andy and his family came to DC for a visit. We were able to enjoy some great weather while we walked around old town Alexandria. We had a great visit and hope to see them again soon.
