We left bright and early this morning and now we are at THE JERSEY SHORE! Can't believe we are here. This is my first real experience down here. Many moons ago I went to Mannasquan with some people from work, but that was the seedier side. Now I was getting to see the part that all of the families talk about when they say they are "going down the shore." Let the fun begin.
Mateo and Lucia are prepped with their new shades...
...they also lucked out with the best accommodations. King-sized bed with lots of pillow.
Once we settled in we put on our swimsuits to go hit the pool.
Valentina and her crazy curls were looking stylish in her new suit.
Aba and V hung out in the shallow end...
...but later she joined Lucia and Papi in the deep.
After swimming, we headed out to dinner where Valentina and Abu shared a moment on this bench while waiting to be seated.
Later, we ventured out onto the boardwalk. The kids loved this candy shop with the giant lollipops.
Valentina was also pretty pleased.
On our way back to our hotel we got to watch this parade going down the boardwalk.
We also decided that we didn't want the night to end, so instead we went to the amusement park. First, we need to check our ride options. Lucia is just shy of 46 inches and ...
Mateo hovers between 56 and 57 inches depending on the hair.
I regretfully went on a pirate boat ride with them and that was the last for me. For the rest of the night it was just the two of them. Tilt-a-Whirling away...
...and getting shot straight up into the air. Very good start to our vacation.
Day 1 over.
