jersey girls

we took a short trip back to good old holmdel, 'to see nai nai and ah gong and our piano', in chloe's words ;-)  not such a fun drive - o tollbooth, how i have not missed thee - but a sweet visit.  we squeezed the most out of our 40 hours or so:


on our way to peach picking!  one of my fond nj memories =)



yes, there were very many peaches consumed, during and after ;-)

doesn't take long to fill a 20-pound bucket!

ben and i snuck off to holmdel park to run the old cross country course, then it was dinner outdoors on the shore, seabright to be specific, where the girls loved watching the assortment of boats go by -

and generally running, skipping, hopping, bouncing, shouting and squealing - all those things we have to curtail in our apartment.  a place of your own, with a little yard and a piece of grass.. there are reasons that's the american dream -

cheers to nai nai and ah gong!
