Just when I thought there were no new things to photograph on the beach, an empty lifeguard chair proved me wrong.

We celebrated Neil’s birthday at Ocean Grove and Asbury Park this year. It was fun, and eating out saved me from having to bake cupcakes 😉

We took one of our nighttime day trips down the shore last week. The boardwalk in Ocean Grove is still missing, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves.

The above are some scenes from part one of our weekend: a surprise overnight stay in Ocean Grove. The boys had never spent the night there before, so they were excited when we revealed about an hour into our trip, that it wasn’t a day trip after all… we’d booked a room and would be staying! It […]

Well wouldn’t you know it, eight years later we […]

I’m happy to report, there were no such problems on our most recent day trip. It was smooth sailing. […]

Or so I was beginning to think. We took a day trip yesterday to Ocean Grove. Or, more accurately, we took a late-afternoon-into-night trip, as is our usual m.o. These are the only pictures I was able to take before my camera seized up, lens partially extended, and refused to come back on. If you […]
