 A sunny beach day- an abstract concept for most of June!
The ocean is warmish. I prefer it warmer-ish, but the kids seem happy.
Enjoy the weekend.

You know it’s a big deal when your event is posted on Conover’s sign on Stone Harbor Blvd 🙂Â

Road Trip: Stone Harbor to LBI
There’s a special seashore wedding this week- ceremony in Beach Haven (you know…North Jersey :) and reception at the Stone Harbor Golf Club.   The wedding bus (aka “the party bus” per the brother in law in charge of refreshments) will drive family and friends back and forth.
Hoping for sunshine and minimum traffic along the Parkway!

That’s better…
A rainbow behind the clouds at sunrise – this was my view as I ate breakfast on the deck…Â

And this was my view as I walked along the beach.  It’s overcast now, but much better than rain!

Weather or Not
People on vacation are determined to make the best of it…even though it’s been raining since, what March?
Yesterday looked hopeful, then heavy rain moved in.  A break later in the day, then a torrential downpour.  A beautiful double rainbow and deep puddles to entertain the kids rounded out the day!
Stay positive…tomorrow’s weather forecast calls for some SUNÂ 🙂
-
Could that be the sun?
Quick- run to the beach…the sun is out!
Yes, it’s windy, but the sand is soaking wet, so it won’t blow around 🙂
We need this weather to improve SOON- there’s an important wedding next week :-) and family members are in town to celebrate.

Rain, Rain, Go Away…
We need to get these people out of their cars and on to the beach!What a week- so challenging for families on vacation with young children.
It has to get better eventually…right?Â
Our son and his family arrive tomorrow night and expect to be on the beach 1st thing Saturday morning!

September Day
Today’s cool north wind and stormy ocean reminds me of a September day.Our visitors will have to be creative to block the wind on the beach.
The retail shops LOVE this type of weather-Â the downtown is definitely busy.
Summer officially begins on Sunday…confirmed by the number of check-in’s scheduled for this weekend – including members of my own family! Can’t wait!

Weekly Entertainment
Those of us who live here full time or in the summer find it entertaining to watch the rental properties in our neighborhood.Â
Every Saturday, a new family arrives to make claim to their shore rental home. It’s like a different TV series for us each week (sounds pathetic…but it’s true).
The tenants intrigue us with their “toys” (like the motor home AND jet skies above), fancy cars (as long as they don’t park in front of our house!), and gatherings on the deck.Â
And then they sadly pack up the following week, and the cycle starts all over again.
