Being Jersey about it......


When my nephew asked me if I was going to the beach today, I told him I was going down the shore. His poor little self was all confused and he said, "But Mommy said that you were going to go to the beach with us today!" So, we explained to him that people from Jersey always say they are going down the shore - and when we are standing on the sand with the surf pounding in our ears we say we are "down the shore".

When we got down the shore we went to Seven Presidents Beach, a Monmouth County Park and very family friendly place where Luke likes to plant flags in the sand. Attending to flags is a big deal and takes a good deal of time - more important than building sandcastles for him.

If you think you've seen this pose before on the blog, you are right. Just a different season and different kind of water!

LOL, I never thought about the "beach" vs. "shore" thing... It's never summer vacation till we've been down the shore either!! You can take the girl out of Jersey, but... :) Great pics, btw. Wer'e heading down that way in two weeks. Can't wait! :)
