New Jersey Trip 2012

My niece Jax who is on the way to the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ this weekend with her mom, dad and baby brother.  She is the fashion diva and I look forward to seeing her soon.  Her brother Chase was born last year when Debbie and I were on our road trip and we got to see him at only a few days old.



My nephew Steve and his wife Amanda (parents of above adorable children) have been kind enough to let us stay at their beach condo in Sea Isle City, NJ.  It will be our home base while there and is a block off the beach and right downtown.  Everyplace is walkable with the exception of my mom's and my sister's but we are not far from anywhere.  It will make mom more comfortable that we/I won't be staying at her house so she can rest when she needs to.  I need to work too so mornings will be working and afternoon will be mom and sister when she has time.  I am anxious to get there now.

Set in Stone or Foam?

Our plans are set to go now and we will visit Foamhenge in WV.  We have been reading the Roadside America website for other goofy things we can see along the way.  We are also trying to match our route with the Diners, Drive-in's and Dives website to make a culinary statement along the way as well.  It should be interesting.

My goal is to find songs from every state we drive through on the way to New Jersey so that Debbie won't have to hear 15 Miles on the Erie Canal this trip.  I am currently trying to get the words to My Old Kentucky Home and must Google other states to find songs.  Although this is not the pleasure trip we took last year, I'm hoping to get to show Debbie more of the "Jersey Shore" than she got to see last time less Snookie and The Situation of course.  And yes Dave, I think Foamhenge will be fun.  Stay tuned for fun and photos.  Even though this is a serious trip, anytime Debbie and I are together there are always giggles at a minimum and usually much, much more.  I just thought of one for West Virginia..wasn't there a John Denver song..Almost Heaven West Virginia?  I'm on a roll already!
