going somewhere? I love Summer. It just makes me happy inside. The smell of the air.
The fresh produce. Eating outside just tastes better, doesn't it?
Last week my family and I stayed a week at The Jersey Shore and let me tell you,
we had so much fun. I was sad to go but I look forward to going back.
Here are a few pictures of our vacation.
Jersey Shore House
You didn't think I could start off this post without mentioning this house. The cast
was filming all week and we saw them filming daily. Kinda cool.
We had beautiful weather every single day. I felt grateful.
Sand castles are a must when you are at the beach.
My 4th of July cutie showing her momma some love.
Corona-Rita's are a must on vacation.
Italian Donuts. Be still my heart.
Lounging on the porch and having down time. Priceless.
Happy Summer My Friends!!!!!!!
Ahhhh...we were at the SAME place at the SAME time! We should have had a bloggy-lunch! Come over and read my post from a couple days ago. Glad to hear you had fun!
ReplyDeleteCheers! - Shelley

Wow! It looks like you had an amazing vacation! I will be posting about my recent getaway too. (probably later today) I love your photos.

ReplyDeleteAhh so jealous you got to see the Jersey Shore house and cast! I forgot it's the middle of summer so of course they'd be filming. So fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and I love the Jersey Shore. We vacationed there when we lived up north and had such a great time. Adorable pictures of your daughter. And now I'm dying for a real bakery bagel--the northeast has the best!:)
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering when we would get to see these pics! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I've never been to the Jersey Shore, so thanks for sharing your trip!
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer to you, too.
ReplyDeleteSand castles are always fun, and Corona-Ritas...NICE is all I can say to that.

What a fun time! We just got back from Charleston...too hot!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing time! We made a jaunt to what is technically jersey's shore (sandy hook, by NYC), although not THE Jersey Shore over the 4th. I'll have to try a Corona-rita!
ReplyDeleteI have never actually thought of going to the Jersey Shore as a vacation spot, but you spin it in such a great light that I may have to put it on the list!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Corona-Ritas! Now I want one!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun!! Love all your trip pics!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Gotta love the shore. And too fun that you got to see them filming :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove that you stalked the Jersery Shore house out, I would have totally done the same! Reading magazines + Coronitas = my happy place! Glad you had a great vacay!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Jerseyyyyyy! Growing up in NY we'd always make fun of the Jersey Shore, but it really is kinda beautiful. ;) And of course, all the Italian culture, food, people etc... It's home to me. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteYup! It looks like you had a perfect Jersey Shore Vacation!!! I love the picture of your little one showing you some love!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect getaway!
