Practice makes perfect.....post on....
OCNJ is a dry town! Good choice. I’ll be heading there for my week off this summer.
Good kid!
And that’s for the ladies’ room. ;-)
When I was hiking over the weekend, I stopped to watch two fawns jumping around in a little area of grass below the wooded cliff on the opposite bank of the river. After awhile, a doe came out of the trees and started eating grass-I doubt they even noticed me, with the noise of the rapids and the tree cover-it was one of those moments that remind me of why I live in BFE, no matter what.
yes it is dry! that’s where the affianced’s family has a beach house. I think they plan on a trip to Atlantic city by limo, his mom said. His brother who is in the army is his best man, so he’s doing the planning. some talk of chartering a fishing boat for 4 hours, and there’s a roller hockey rink nearby and they plan on a game there.
beautiful girls!
Oh sorry - I was rushed this morning - read it and didn’t comprehend correctly
Congrats on graduation!
I like to drink, but I love OCNJ for vacation. It cuts out so much of the riff raff and there is a ton to do. If you want to have drinks at the condo, no problems!
They will have a great time. There’s so much to do, the time flies! If you want to do nothing, there’s plenty of that to do as well.
They can rent jet ski’s too, which are actually really reasonable and they are really damn fast.
Thank you. I had doubts the day would ever come a few times. :)
Shame you didn’t have any books you needed to keep upright!
You are literally surrounded by women aren’t you? Very cute girls - I’m sure they are the light of your life
Ha-ha. That's not a pier. It's a jetty-son."
The only time, in 30 years, that I have ever seen my husband drunk was when we were with another Marine and they began to swap stories..... My Marine didn’t look drunk, didn’t act drunk...but since he had been drinking at this party I drove home. We got about half a block away and he clearly and calmly asked me to pull over.... I did and he puked on the curb. lol He still claims I made too big a deal out of it but I stayed awake most of the night afraid he would die in his sleep! lol It is odd to see such a strong man at a very rare moment when he is not completely in control.
Her fiancé grew up there basically, they’ve always had the house. Xsteen has done the jet skis with him, max and mankos pizza and uncle bills for breakfast!
TOTES adorbs both of them!!
Good one!! A +++
:)
They were doing that for about 15 minutes. I snapped a quick pic. Ari doesn’t like being in pics, so she took off, and my daughters tried unsuccessfully to stage the scene again.
First time I went to OC about 5 years ago, I was very happily surprised how clean, guido-free and reasonably priced everything was. And almost no cops, because they really aren’t needed.
Looking forward to some boardwalk food.
There’s a mack and manco and a manco and manco pizza place. Both are good. I went one other place, didn’t understand the size of the slices or whatever and it cost us like 45 bucks for what we ordered, which was 3 meals worth of food. No menu with price lists. Oh well, live and learn, i had pizza for breakfast and lunch for a couple days.
Great little place.
