Stardate 64772.29 - A Little Vacation (Part One)

Back in August Cheryl took 3 weeks off to hang out with Loren and Kate before Loren started Kindergarten. I was still on a project for the Board of Elections and couldn't take any time off in the weeks leading up to the Primary Election, so I came out to the beach house here and there (and on the weekends) while Cheryl and the girls remained out in NJ. Cheryl did enroll Loren in a day camp, which Loren really loved so we'll see if we can do something similar next summer.

Here the girls enjoy a cool treat in the heat.

Loren loves to play school! And she can read pretty well now, too!

My Dad and his girlfriend Valarie came up for a weekend and we had dinner at Moby's with Cheryl's parents. It was a cloudy day but pretty warm as I recall.

Loren killed time before dinner was ready by playing around on the docks.

Kate's hot dog was almost as tall as she is!

The next day we went up to Twin Lights and climbed the stairs to the top of one of the towers and got some great shots.

The town of Highlands is below, with Sandy Hook in the distance (and beyond that in the haze is New York City).

This little sliver of land is part of Sea Bright, where Cheryl's Grandmother lives.
