DOWN THE SHORE AT LBI

THIS PAST MONDAY THE KIDS HAD THE DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL, SO JACKIE AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD DAY TO GO DOWN THE SHORE. I LOVE THE OCEAN, THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE ON THE BEACH, THE GULLS WERE FLYING OVERHEAD. THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND THERE WAS A GREAT BREEZE. WHEN WE GOT THERE THE KIDS RAN TO THE WATER, IT WASN'T THAT COLD, THEY GOT THEIR FEET WET. THEY LOVE COLLECTING SHELLS, WE HAVE SO MANY WE CAN START OUR OWN SHELL SHOP.
THE SEASON IS OVER, BUT IT'S THE BEST TIME TO VISIT. COME OCTOBER LBI, (LONG BEACH ISLAND) HAS THEIR CHOWDER FESTIVAL, THEY MUST HAVE AT LEAST 8 CHOWDERS TO SAMPLE, OR BUY A BOWL FULL OF THE MOST DELICIOUS CHOWDER. ALL THE CHOWDER IS EXCELLENT. THIS TIME OF YEAR THE SHORE IS PERFECT, THE SMELL OF THE OCEAN, THE SAND BETWEEN YOUR TOES, AND THE COOL BREEZE. OH...AND A NICE CUP OF HOT TEA. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A GREAT DAY.
