Spring Break in Jersey

The girls and I packed our bags, loaded up the dogs and headed to New Jersey for Spring Break.  It is the first time in a long time that I was giddy, yes, giddy to be home.  The girls were snuggled up in the back seat watching a movie and I was listening to the Phillies win 1-0 on the radio, which definitely added to the giddiness.   Then, as the game concluded and we got closer to my Mom's house this came on the radio...

It was only too fitting and a sign that I was home and a perfect beginning to our visit.  There was one sad bit of news, really devastating, but more on that later.  For now check out some of the pictures of our adventure to the Garden State.

Friday Night we had a campfire, complete with roasting hot-dogs and smores

On Saturday afternoon we headed to Ocean City

The girls had to play in the water, which by the way, was too cold!

They don't seemed phased at all

Early I mentioned while on the trip we had some devastating news.  Here it is...

This is a picture of pizza from my favorite pizza place, Preps Pizza in Ocean City.  Part of the reason we, okay I am lying, the reason we went to Ocean City was to get Preps.  It never dawned on me it could be closed during the off season, but as we walked closer to the restaurant I noticed it was closed.  Heartache, I know, but it gets worse.  On the front of the closed doors was a sign...I figured it said, closed until June, sadly, it was a for sale sign.  We had to settle for Manco & Manco pizza.  It was still good, but not the same.  Regardless, we had a wonderful visit and I was glad to be home.
