Dave & I promised each other that this year we would get the kids to the shore (last year we just never made it). So, the one Saturday we knew Dave would be off work we headed to Point Pleasant, NJ. Going to the shore any time in the summer let alone on a Saturday morning, usually means sitting in a ton of traffic but God knew what we needed and we made record time to the shore with hardly any traffic. Emily and Matt were excited about going. The last time we were at a beach Emily was in the water with Dave and Matt spent his time playing in the sand close to me, well that changed, which meant I had to spend most of my time down in the water too. Matt loved running away from the waves, although that was all he wanted to do, no going "into" the water. Emily enjoyed boogie boarding and then body surfing with Dave. We spent from 9:30 - 1 on the beach then hit the bath houses, changed, walked the Boardwalk and then to the rides for the kids. The day totally wiped us out but we took a different route home and went through some of the towns we have always heard about but never seen. On our way back, we stopped for dinner and then for coffee and a treat. By the time we got to the coffee stop, Matt's legs started bothering him, so we made a quick stop to the pharmacy for some Ibuprofen. It was a very full day but a wonderful day, a day I wouldn't mind having again in the near future - a mom can dream!
