This weekend

"The Shore"
We went to "the shore" yesterday, though it was cloudy, humid and in the 70s.  We checked out a possible school for Tom in Neptune, then went to a beach around there.  We found a free public one.  Too cold for most people to swim, but our big boys started out wading and ended up body surfing, in their clothes!  The littles got their legs wet and built a sand castle.  All enjoyed the gulls and shells.  We will probably go back today, to that or a different beach.

Checked out housing prices in Neptune, Asbury Park and that area.  (Anyone want to invest in some NJ shore property?  Sell it to us on a CD??)  Asbury Park is run down, for no apparent reason, with very cheap housing right by the shore.  On either side are much more "ritzy" towns.  Weird.  Housing around Neptune is not too bad, if you don't need to walk to the shore.  The school there Tom may attend goes through high school.


3 kids are up this am, while Papa and Tom sleep; those two would sleep as long as possible every single day.  Kids are cuddly in the am.
