a little anniversary getaway to ocean grove - part two

there was a drastic change in the weather between monday and tuesday in ocean grove.  while monday was cool, overcast, and drizzling, tuesday was a scorcher with temperatures in the 90s and lots of humidity.  we woke up and enjoyed breakfast at the b&b where we were staying and then headed to the beach to cool off in the water.  

we took a little break in the afternoon to come back to town to grab some pizza for lunch before heading back to the beach to cool off again.  after soaking up lots of sun, sand, and surf, we showered off and headed out to find some dinner in nearby asbury park before calling it a night and crashing from exhaustion.

on wednesday morning, we had breakfast again at the b&b.  before heading out to drive back home, we walked the boardwalk a little bit to say goodbye to the ocean.  

it was a nice little outing.  here are a few photos from tuesday and wednesday . . .

a little anniversary getaway to ocean grove - part one

last week we took a little trip to ocean grove, new jersey to celebrate our anniversary.  we had a bit of free time monday through wednesday, so we decided to take advantage of it and escape somewhere not too far away before baby boy arrives in a couple of weeks.  

it's hard to believe that it has been 9 years since we last went to ocean grove.  we spent two nights at the inn at ocean grove which was a quaint little bed and breakfast just one block from the ocean.

we drove down on monday and arrived in the afternoon.  since it was cool, overcast, and drizzling, we couldn't go in the water, so instead we walked around the town and relaxed.  we found a nice little spot for lunch and a good restaurant for dinner, along with some ice cream for dessert.  here are some photos from our monday in ocean grove . . .

an anniversary weekend getaway to chincoteague and assateague islands - part 3

we enjoyed our quick getaway to chincoteague and assateague islands (see here and here).  

we were lucky that our hotel had free breakfast, so we had something to eat both mornings before heading out of the hotel.  it was especially nice to be able to eat out on our balcony!  

the seafood sure was fresh and oh so good this weekend in chincoteague.  here are some of the yummy things we ate . . .

an anniversary weekend getaway to chincoteague and assateague islands - part 2

we enjoyed our time in chincoteague and assateague.  we were very happy to be able to see the beach and the ocean each day.  the weather was by far the nicest on friday.  we were able to enjoy the warmth, walk the beach, and dip our feet in the water.  saturday was much cooler and very windy so we barely got wet but still enjoyed the sand.  sunday was so damp and rainy that we just enjoyed it from the car!

love, laurie
