Jersey Shore 2014

This year we paid our annual visit to Avalon on the Jersey Shore with S's family. Although I'm fairly new to this tradition, over the past few years I have come to fall in love with the shore--it's beautiful, peaceful, has cool mornings and killer sunsets, and the sweetest little towns to walk around in.  Oh, and ice cream--lots of ice cream.

This year, Ellie was afraid of the beach (that one really came out of nowhere) but amid a few tantrums, we still managed to have a good time. One evening the sky turned the most beautiful shades of pink and orange and I literally ran back to the beach house (a five minute walk away) to capture it!

Sigh. There's nothing like a beach sunset!

A few more tidbits from our trip:

(We found kosher soft serve and were THRILLED! So good!)

 Cute little baby boy...

The cousins watching some TV on the couch--so cute!

All in all, it was a great week, and we can't wait for next year!
