Avon-by-the-Sea for Columbus Day

It feels like as soon as school starts in New Jersey, we are out for Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and then Columbus Day.  We took advantage of the school break and coerced the Goss' to go with us to Avon-by-the-Sea for a long weekend.  We haven't witnessed the Jersey Shore during peak times, but instead visit during off season and love every bit of it.  It really is a beautiful and unique location.  Plus, who can complain about the beach?  

We took Dave for his first visit to Point Pleasant boardwalk for some good grub and rides.  As we enjoyed our drinks, the kids played on the beach outside the restaurant.

Nothing beats the beach and a little sunshine.  Olivia and Rachel.
Showtime!  Bumper cars with the kids and guys.
"On the Boardwalk...."
Who is ready for Moby Dick?!
Or Tilt-a-Whirl?

Kobe took a walk too
Nothing beats a heated pool in late September...plus, a hot tub!

After the boys left for their private jet with Tata, we took the kids to see Frankenwienee (horrible, horribly sad movie). 
A lovely weekend was had by all in Avon-by-the-Sea.  The Orrico's are putting the house up for sale this coming Spring, so we'll miss the place, but have many fond memories.  Thanks for sharing it with us while we were in New Jersey!
