Jersey Girl - Down the Shore

This Jersey girl has gone down the shore. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. It looks like it will be windy, though sunny and right around 70 degrees. It’s still early, so I’m sitting here and am watching a lovely view….

The ocean is just steps away, and the sun radiates like diamonds on glass off of the ocean this morning.

There’s no where else I’d rather be. I grew up looking out at the Atlantic on our weekly vacations “down the shore”.

We stopped over at the Dark Star Cafe for a sandwich– oh my gosh, if you’re anywhere near Long Beach Island, this is a must needed lunch spot…needed as in, I NEED ME ONE OF THOSE SANDWICHES!!! I stopped in one time last year, and had to go back the very next day.

Then when my husband and I came down together, I told him we had to go there…now it’s our first meal on the island…and may become tradition! We unpack the cars, and head to the Dark Star for take-out…bringing it home to sit and look out at the ocean.

The owner, Tony, uses only the freshest products, and basically, if it isn’t made there, it isn’t served there….I had an incredible roast beef and cheddar hoagie (oooh, are you a sub person? yeah, funny how different areas say different things)…any way, that damn hoagie was fresh, on freshly made bread which is out of this world.

We’ll probably fit in a little bit of miniature golf today and wander around town. I’ll be taking some video and pictures so that I can load them over onto my LBI website next week. Want to check out my Long Beach Island website? It’s right here.

Kelly Rouba and Juvenile Arthritis

May is Arthritis Awareness month. Did you know that Juvenile Arthritis affects over 300,000 children in the United States?

Kelly Rouba was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis at the age of 2. Kelly decided to write a book on arthritis that kid would read, and features teens with arthritis. The book includes resources, and gives perspective from multiple individuals who are faced with the disease.

You can visit Kelly’s blog here

You can find Kelly’s book here

Meet Kelly and other people featured in her book:
Arthritis Walk on Sunday May 3rd at the Princeton Forrestal Village.

You can help out be participating in the annual Arthritis Walk across New Jersey

There will be walks all through out the garden state during the month of May. Full details for your area can be found on the above website.

Why all this NJ Information?

Why all this NJ information? You may not be aware of this, but I have a New Jersey book! It covers things to do, areas in New Jersey and more. I decided rather than continue to sell it, I’d share the information in one place. It makes more sense to have free access to it— all in one place. This way you can find the information that you need, when you need it with a simple search.

:) There you have it…look for more NJ information coming soon! As for today, I’m on my way out to lunch…have a great day.
