The Jersey Shore




So we are going to the Jersey Shore this summer for a week with my family. We are my dad's 60th birthday . We originally planned on going to a resort in Maine for a week but it is just too far to drive. So my husband was charged with finding a house that will take dogs at the shore.




After many phone calls we found a house that is right on the beach! But before we could rent it we needed to look at it first.




So what day to we pick to go to Jersey? Saturday. The weather forecast said a dusting to 1 inch of snow. Well...




Jersey had a lot more snow then that, maybe 6-8 inches.




We left our house at 11 a.m and it would normally take about 2 1/2 hours to get to the shore. We got there around 3p.m.




We checked out the house, which is perfect. (Sorry I don't know how to move the picture down here yet, but the above picture is looking out at the ocean)


We were leaving the shore and decided we better take main roads home. But before we could leave my husband wanted a slice of pizza on the boardwalk. (Does it look like we could find pizza on the boardwalk? second pic above)
Anyway we left at 3:30 and didn't get home until 8 p.m. I quick trip to the shore for 10 minutes of house hunting took about 10 hours. Good thing we both are used to spending a lot of time in the car.

(If anyone knows about how to move the pictures, please let me know)
