We spent a week in North New Jersey beach. We stayed right on the beach. We absolutely loved it! The kids had so much fun, it was relaxing and perfect. People seemed quite surprised to hear us say we had come from Florida to go to the beaches there in New Jersey. Other than the water being colder, much colder, the beaches were far better. A great big shore line, no seaweed, no jellyfish, and they could walk out so much further into the ocean.
We spent time on the boardwalk, did a water park and an AMAZING pirate cruise. It was a chilly, cloudy, almost rainy day when we went to the water park, so we didn't stay too long. The pirate cruise started with some morning rain, but quickly stopped and turned into an amazing time.
We had great food the entire time, cooking breakfast in our beach condo, ordering subs to the beach, packing picnic lunches, and going out to restaurants for great dinners. Lexi even ate mako (shark) and loved it.
Lexi made friends with a little girl and played with her on the beach the entire week. Funny how similar personalities find each other. Lexi's new little friend Zoe, loves animals, nature the ocean and all just the same as Lexi does. They spent countless hours together collecting clams, digging for sand crabs, diving into waves and swimming. Lexi has her address and has already written a sweet letter to her.
Gavin and Carli spent a lot of time together, just the two of them, building sand castles, jumping the littler waves and collecting sea shells. Perhaps their favorite thing to do together was choose ice cream form the Fudgy Wudgy man .... each and every day without fail!
We enjoyed our fun week of great times and great family time. We are already discussing going back next year.
