Category: Life at the Shore

To borrow from Seinfeld…a beach vacation is mostly about “nothing”.

This thought occurred to me yesterday as I packed the cooler for a beach day with visiting family.  Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, peaches, and red licorice (the essential food groups).  And of course ice cream money for the Fudgy Wudgy guy 😉

Simple structure:  breakfast, beach, dinner…repeat.  Mix it up occasionally with a bike ride, and maybe some time on the bay.

The only calculation needed is knowing the tide schedule to secure the best spot near a lifeguard.

Life is good!

The MANY descendants of a young lad from Northern Ireland, and a wee girl from the Republic of Ireland gathered yesterday at the Cape May County Park.

Their 6 children pictured (1 died as an infant) expanded the family even more with 21 grandchildren.

The 2 surviving daughters (on either end of the picture) attended the reunion, as well as 2 wives of sons who passed, almost all of the grandchildren and their spouses, and many great grandchildren.

The family ties to Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Ocean City go way back, and continue today with the younger generation.

Fun to laugh about childhood memories, and confirm that  “Yes, I was Grandmom’s favorite” 😉

Pink sky!  Have a good weekend.

Avalon’s slogan is true today.  Air conditioning is off!

Friday, at 8:14pm, watch the full moon rise over the ocean (sunset is at 8:12pm, so beautiful views both east and west!).
