Vacation

We are are vacation in South Jersey! The flight here was uneventful and David did GREAT! We were able to use our Delta points and get a great deal on First Class seats so it wasn't crowded and we didn't have a stranger sitting with us being bother with David. David sat on Anthony's lap most the time and was having fun looking out the window a lot. He played with some toys and before you knew it we were in Memphis. We had a 1 1/2 hour lay over before our flight to PA so we got something to eat and walked around. David fell asleep before we got on the plane and slept the whole flight to PA and woke up when we were waiting for our luggage.

We stayed the first night at Michele's (Anthony's sister) in Linwood and then headed over to his parents house for a BBQ. We planned to go to the beach before the BBQ but it didn't work out. Michele, Gabby, Jack, David and I walked down the street to the Bay and took some great pictures. The food at the BBQ was GREAT! David had watermelon for the first time and he loved it! He got so messy from it that I ended up putting him in the pool. We then drove over to June's (Michele's mother-in-law) which is where we are staying. She lives in a HUGE house less than a block away from the beach in Brigantine (just north of Atlantic City). They call Brigantine "The Island" and it has some of the most beautiful houses on the shore.

Yesterday we wanted to go to the beach, but the weather didn't allow it; it thunder stormed ALL day! We went to the mall, a real mall not like the small ones in LR, in Mays Landing. The storm was so bad that the electricity went off in the mall two times and it was coming down so hard that we had to stay in the mall for an extra 30 mins until it calmed down. Nikki and Jack spent the day with us and wanted to spend the night at Junes, so we went grocery shopping and got steaks to BBQ since the rain looked like it was going to stop. After dinner we walked down the street to get ice cream. This place was PACKED! Apparently it's the best place to get ice cream on the Island and I see why - it was great! I ended up getting soft serve vanilla ice cream that was dipped in Oreo's, YUM YUM! I shared with David and as you can see, he loved it too!

The weather is supposed to cooperate today and be sunny and 93, so we are going to plan for the beach today and I think hit Ocean City tonight with Nana & Poppy. Ocean City is just south of Atlantic City and has a boardwalk with rides that David can go on. I'll keep you posted!
