Run from the state run!!! If you have gone near Newark and haven't smelled the icky smell I would be impressed.
Hey, I work in Newark...but I agree, lol.

Maybe next time there can be some kind of GPS tracking device on the car so we can all monitor Kevin's progress via the internet and we can wave at him as he drives up I-95. It will be like taking a road trip without having to leave our computer chairs!!!!!
When I was a kid, my folks took us to the Jersey Shore for a week every summer. This was my favorite place on earth (untill my first Disney trip).
Some friends of ours own a beach house in the Avalon - Stone Harbor area. They called and let us know that the first two weeks of September were available and that we could have them if we wanted them.
So we said yes. We dont have anything planned but to revisit the places I remember loving as a kid, visiiting with friends and family (John is from NJ) and just hanging out.
In addition, I get to bring my folks back to someplace they loved ( and probably wouldnt have gotten a chance to see again on their own). It's terrific being able to revisit something from the past; seeing whats new and even better, what hasn't changed.
So...as Bob says....thats my plan and I'm sticking to it.
Can you believe I'm quoting Bob? I need to go to the beach.

There is nothing like going "down the shore".
As I said before...we would go on vacation as soon as school got out in June. For our trip, we would each get new white sneakers and a new hooded sweatshirt. So yup...you got it...I bought new sneakers and a new hooded sweatshirt for this trp.
OK - I've made it!!!!!
Got in yesterday about noon (complete with sinus infection and clogged ears from the cabin pressure changes) and was immediately whisked to AC for some food and gambling.
Yesterday, being trapped in traffic and surrounded by throngs of people brought back all those feelings of why I avoided this place during the busiest times. I am really looking forward to the next few weeks when the kids are back in school and the crowds are much lighter.

I think it has to do with childhood memories. Dont get me wrong. The beaches in FL are great, but my heart belongs to the Jersey shore.

Oh John..........(ok...now I know I have reached middle age)
Oh and by the way.....if y'all want to track my progress back to FL...get a map of all of the Bojangles Fried Chicken and Biscuits locations along the I-95 South corridor. We just found them on the way up here and are now OBSESSED. The biscuits are KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later kids.

The weather is BEAUTIFUL.
Kevin has just crossed the border into NJ - did you feel it in the air?
