Family Vacation - Ocean City, NJ - July 15th - 19th Once again God blessed us with a fabulous time at the Jersey Shore. The surf coulda been better, but Dad, Derek and I still got out a few times. The weather was really great, and we even had a very cool thunderstorm late Tuesday night that all the adults got to enjoy on the front porch. It was great being with the family, and being at the beach for 5 days. Once again, Hope and I are determined to try and go an entire week next summer! I apologize for not taking more pictures...I really blew it, as I sort of forgot that I even had my camera. The house below is of Hope's Grandmother's in Woodbine, New Jersey. Hope, her brother Ray, and Joanne used to spend the entire summer in this little house up until Hope was about 10 years old. So it was cute finally being able to put an image to the house in which I've heard many stories about.
