A trip to Jersey is rarely relaxing...especially when there are 10 straight days of rain and a schedule so busy that we had an excel spreadsheet for tracking. What else would you expect of us though? We don't let ourselves sit still for long. We'll sleep when we're dead. Though we do keep making promises that we will calm down one day soon.... but we'll start that next week since it's a holiday weekend coming up and our minds are already spinning with road trip options.
Landed off the red-eye to clouds and rain and the typical smoke stacks that did once cause me to tear-up. One time!...and casey will never let me live it down. I know I am an emotional person, but really, who gets all teary eyed at the jersey smoke stacks?! No tears this time though. Guess I am past being 'homesick' :)
From Newark to Clifton, out to Mine Hill, to Bloomingdale, to NYC, to Middletown, to Asbury, to the Lane, to Long Branch, to Tinton Falls, to Union Beach, to Newark again. Highlight of our trip was of course food! We must have eaten pizza at least 7 nights, dunks almost daily, broccoli rabe of course, and Rutts Hut (!?!!)....it was Casey and our dads vs. me....so I let them win. And to be honest, the dog was pretty good! Save the best for last....Salumeria Rosi on the upper west side. We will be back there for sure next trip!
We truly enjoyed every last moment of QT that we were able to spend with our wonderful family and friends.
