She would stay outside forever if she could.
They don't have a street level porch, the balcony is on the 3rd floor, so we sit out on the street ghetto style!
They really should buy the empty lot next door and expand! The family is growing!
Hey baby, need a ride?
The boardwalk is really packed with people walking, running and biking early, like before 10. We didn't get there till 11 so it was a little quieter. No matter when you go, you will see people you know.

They built some really nice playgrounds recently. I guess it will be a few years until we can make use of them!
There are some amazing houses long the boardwalk.
This guy owns Royal Bank.
We know these people. They bought and connected 3 houses! If you have been following along you might remember Mark circled a real estate ad for a $10 million house saying he found the perfect house for us. Well, this is the house. Still for sale. If interested, I can hook you up!
Like I said, you can't go a block without seeing family or friends.
Another cool playground. Melissa really wanted to try it out!
We went back and got ready for the beach. It's about 3 blocks away and Amy was ok walking it. You think the boardwalk is bad, we couldn't sit for a while when we got there as we were surrounded by people we knew. Most hadn't seen Amy's belly so she walked from group to group showing it off. Everyone loved it.
Considering it was a little cool, there were a lot of people on the beach.
Amy's mom runs into a guy who was in her 1st grade class!
Look at Amy from behind, then...
then the side! What a difference a change in perspective makes. She really is all belly.
There was a swamp on the beach. There were lot's of kids in it so we stayed away.
After walking for several blocks, visiting tons more people and going to the bathroom at Lucy the Elephant, Melissa was done!
I had my little green machine on the beach. I was able to pick up lots of wifi signals and surf the 'net! A few people came over to see what I was doing. They had all seen the 60 Minutes story on the One Laptop Per Child XO. You could really see the screen well in the bright sunlight. I got Phillies updates for everyone. So cool! Melissa, wake up!
Melissa and I fell asleep on the beach and everyone left us! We woke up, there was no one around! No only that but our faces got really burned! I was upset about that as I am usually really careful about using lotion and staying in the shade. We went back and got ready, then the 5 of us drove to the Smithville Inn for Amy's birthday dinner. It took about 1/2 an hour.
The whole area is cute. It's an old village with shops and restaurants and mutant chickens! The shops were closed by the time we got there, oh well.
Amy had her usual crabcakes. The few times we had been here for brunch and the two times for engagement parties, for my cousins Larry and Eric, it was packed. Tonight it was pretty quiet.
I know what she is wishing for!
We had a very nice time even though Melissa kept complaining about us dragging her off the island. "Why do we have to go so far?"
We were all so tired and sun burned that we just went home and went to sleep. Look for part 3 soon!
