Ocean City, NJ

The end of last week, Brian and I joined up with my family "down the shore." It was so wonderful to meet our new little foster nephew and relax on the beach with family. My mom rented a house right on the boardwalk. We just enjoyed watching all the runners and bikers and vacationers walking the boards. And, we were able to watch the fireworks from the front deck -- looking out at the ocean.
