Art & Marian, Linda, Jim and Matt spent the weekend with us. They arrived from Rochester early Saturday afternoon. Christine and Teddy's families were able to join us for the afternoon. The weather was summer like! Sunday was cooler but perfect for outdoor activities. We began by going to Sandy Hook National Park where we first visited the Nature Center and checked to see if the photo of Leo windsurfing about 15 years ago is still part of their exhibit. It is! Then we walked the nature trail through holly forests and then along the beach where we saw quite a few large horseshoe crabs and a lot of pretty shells.
We had a picnic lunch at the park, a tour of both the light house and the history house where officers used to live. We took the scenic ride home through Atlantic Highlands overlooking the bay and ocean stopping at Mitchell Monument Park to see the 911 Memorial and the view of Sandy Hook and NYC from a high eleavation. We also made a stop at Deep Cut Park to see the beautiful spring flowers. End of the day some of us were in the hot tub!
Monday was rainy so we went to the Monmouth Mall where our guests treated Bill and me and Christine to a delicious lunch at Charlie Brown's which is known for its fabulous salad bar. After tea at Christine's house we headed home. Bill started a fire in the wood stove and we just relaxed using the pool table, Bill's train set and Anne's slot machine. We also played Sequence. In the evening we got out my dad's old slides and did a lot of laughing.
This company is welcome any time!
