Staycation - 2008 - Point Pleasant, NJ - 8/2/08

As if going to Colorado for a week wasn't enough ......We got a invite from my cousin Pete to join his family down the shore at Point Pleasant, NJ - Gwyn and I only stayed a night but it was Great...

Thank You Very Much... - Pete - Liz - Isabella and Olivia for having us over.

First stop - Manasquan, NJ - my old family summer vacation town.....its right across the inlet from Point Pleasant.
Here we are at the Manasquan side of the inlet.

Got there early enough to watch the fishin boats go out...
Carlson's Corner - Best breakfast in Manasquan.

The Main Street lifeguard station.

I cant even imagine how many quarters I have spent here at Gee Gee's......I used to live at the arcade - (1979-1986).....

The local pizza joint in Manasquan.......

After a walk down memory lane.....We finally get over to the Point Pleasant boardwalk...

not the arcade I remember......The Crane Games have went adult....Coach - iPods - Wii
still and big ripoff...

Ahhh the Jersey Shore must-have the - "Twist" - chocolate & vanilla ice cream
