Impromptu Jersey

With Maria finishing her work for the day around 1pm, Lori in Dallas for the night, and nothing planned that night in the city - Maria and Cooper headed down the Parkway last Wednesday to get in some family time for a few hours.

First stop? Maria's grandparent's house. Beautiful weather, so the three hung out in the front yard/porch watching Cooper keep himself very busy: cars to point at, kids on bikes riding by, trees, ants, rocks, etc etc. He was never at a loss of things to explore. Next? Met up with Maria's parents, and now the expanded group of 6 grabbed dinner. Cooper enjoyed the pasta and the sauce and the bread and everything else in front of him. Mangia boy!

Third on the agenda? BOARDWALK. Perfect night with the weather being so mild, and we also didn't have to deal with the weekend BENNYs or the Thursday's Fireworks crowd. A bit busier than normal since it was the week before the 4th of July, but all good.

Cooper is way to young to understand the rides. I mean, the kid would much rather have free reign walking around and exploring the area. Nevertheless, he had to get on a few rides!

What would a night at the Boardwalk be without getting ice cream at Kohr's? Easily the best place in Point Pleasant, and many would argue that it is the best frozen custard on the entire Jersey Shore.

It was quite possibly the quickest trip to the Boardwalk ever. Lots of fun though! Cooper liked the car ride, merry-go-round, and when all six of us rode the train around the area. He waved at everyone as we passed like he knew them. Good times.
