While in New Jersey, we were just 20 minutes from a seaside town that my family frequented when I was very little….Asbury Park. As a child my parents would go for Sunday “rides” and many times our destination would be the jersey shore. I have not been to this area for 55 years! I remember walking the boardwalk in Asbury Park and eating clam strips at Howard Johnsons! I also have a memory of riding children’s rides at Palace Amusements…and eating salt water taffy! Palace Amusements closed in 1988 as it was in disrepair. (I remember riding the below ride when…

While in Rehoboth Beach with Susan & Atom, we spent the day at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in search of Roseate Spoonbills! Two of these special birds had been spotted in the refuge but we could not find them! We took several nature walks in the refuge and observed so many amazing birds, crabs and eagles. It was so nice to be with Susan & Atom again…we had a wonderful day! The day ended with a delicious takeout dinner from Agave in Lewes! Yesterday we rode the eBikes over 20 miles on the bike paths around Rehoboth…

Well another accomplishment! We took the ferry from Cape May, NJ to Lewes, DE! That would not be any big deal to most, but to us towing our new Airstream that was one week old onto a ferry was nerve racking. Our nerves were calmed when the team on the ferry directed us to our spot without incident. The ride was fun and then we were paged because our truck alarm was going off…the boat was rocking and rolling setting off the car alarms. So, we just spent the rest of the trip sitting in the truck.
