LBI Trip


We took the family down to LBI for a mini vacation this week. We took everyone to the beach when we got there on Tuesday and the boys had an absolute blast! They loved jumping in the ocean, running away from the waves and finding seashells.


Allie snoozed in the shade with Nana and was a perfect little angel.


Wednesday was overcast, so we went to see the Barnegat Lighthouse in the morning. The boys had lots of fun seeing "Old Barney" and watching the boats and the fishermen.






After lunch, the sun came out so Ron taught the boys how to go crabbing. Robbie is still talking about how he loved "crabbin'" and caught two crabs!!




Allie came along on both jaunts and, as always, just went with the flow without complaint! Both nights, we enjoyed seafood for dinner and cocktails out on the porch.





After some heavy thunderstorms Wednesday night, we awoke to lots of puddles on Thursday. Since all rules can be broken on vacation, we let the boys run around in their jammies, splashing in the street.

Nana and Poppy got to see the boys and Allie morning, noon, and night for a few days and Ron and I got to take advantage of two extra pairs of hands to help. It was a wonderful, relaxing mini-vacation that we all sorely needed and simply loved. All were just exhausted by the time we got home last night. LBI remains as one of my favorite places in the world. I'm so glad we went!
