Up The Creek

Saturday was hot and sunny, not much of a sea breeze.  Melissa, Amy and I walked to our beach. We didn't do much, just kind of relaxed, which I guess is what you are supposed to do.  Mark came about 3 and they went for a long walk.

I'm not sure why this picture is fuzzy.  It kind of looks like a painting.

We met this girl on the beach.  She is due a couple of weeks after Amy with a girl.  It was interesting to see how different they were both carrying.  The new girl was a little wider in the hips and the belly was lower.

Scott and some of his friends stopped by and grabbed the little green computer.  They were fascinated.  There is an application where you type a phrase and a big face says it out loud. They were writing very inappropriate things for a kids computer!

Saturday night, Amy and I went to pick up Alan and Ina to go to dinner.  I think Josh had enough!  There is nothing like the beach to wipe out a little kid.

The four of us drove to Somer's Point to try out a new place that Alan's parent's suggested.  

It looked like a house.  It was right on the water.

Some crab traps out front.  I guess they have fresh crab, which means crab cakes for Amy!

We were on the second floor and had a very nice view.  The food was decent, but not amazing. Alan and Amy got the crab cakes.  The baby got crab cakes too I guess.

Here is the sunset from our seats.  Very romantic.


The girls wanted ice cream to so off to Two Cents Plain in Margate.  This is the place that has a sharing charge for waffles and ice cream (who doesn't share) and where you get yelled at if you try and stay in with a take out container or cone, but it's the place to be, so that's where we went.

We only had to wait a short time but they were telling people behind us over half an hour.  Too long for very overpriced ice cream.  A single scoop is almost $5!  You can get a half gallon at the supermarket for $2 on sale but I guess it's the experience and company that makes it worth it.

We think we learned a trick.  We didn't tell the waitress we were sharing.  We just said that Amy wasn't getting anything and we didn't get charged extra!  Of course that meant Amy had to sneak bites when the waitress wasn't looking!

Hi Alan and Ina! (two of my biggest fans)

Of course we ended up at the Greenhouse.  We ran into Melanie and Gregg.  We had not seen them since the wedding.  They showed us their honeymoon in Mexico pictures. They had an amazing time.  It's crazy they just got back and the anniversary of our honeymoon is Monday.  I want to go back to Hawaii!  They said they might use one of the pictures I took at their wedding in the their album!  That's quite an honor.

Jason and Andrea, on the left, got engaged this week!  That's Adam and Ellen on the right.  It was Ellen's birthday today!  Happy Birthday Ellen!

My friend Howard from high school also showed up.  That was a nice surprise.  He lives in NY and doesn't make it to the Shore enough.  We stayed till 1:30!  Even longer then Melissa!
