Last weekend, Joey and I ventured up to the Jersey Shore to join my family at our beach house. Okay, it's not OUR beach house... but it might as well be. We have been renting the same beach house every year for two weeks since I was like 8 years old. We used to go with 2 other families, and cram 3 moms, 8 kids, who knows how many hermit crabs, and one parakeet into this tiny little 3 bedroom 2 bath house on the bay side of 83rd street.
I was all excited to show him the house I grew up in every summer and also to show him the little tid bits we've left behind over the years! (Check behind the mirror in the back bedroom. You will find a list of memories from each year going as far back as the 90s!)
We arrived late Thursday night and stayed until Monday morning. My Mom, Dad, Sister, and one of her friends were there when we arrived. My brother and future SIL (ok not quiiiite yet) arrived the next night.
We had an awesome weekend. We went night fishing, drank beers, shotgunned beers (college!!), chilled on the beach, shopped, saw the sights of Cape May County, checked out a bar for the first time EVER (since we were never really old enough to do so before...), and enjoyed Fathers Day with my Dad by playing mini golf, eating a HUGE italian meal (thanks, Mom!) and in general just enjoyed family togetherness. I don't get to see my family much, so it's always great to get us all in one place for a couple days!
Here are a few photos from our trip!
