Jersey Shore 2011: The Boardwalk!

When I was a teenager, the Boardwalk at the Jersey Shore was the place to be. Turns out that it's equally awesome when you HAVE a kid. Luckily there are many boardwalks in NJ and we were able to go to one that is great for younger kids (and not quite as crazy as the one on the show Jersey Shore).
First up was the Dumbo ride. Chase wasn't so sure what to make of it.


Then Mama and Daddy joined him on the carousel. Mama held on tightly to make sure he didn't fall!




We had some boardwalk food for dinner. Chase mostly had baby food, but enjoyed his part of the boardwalk food- the bun!

We had a sweet dinner view of the beach.


Afterward, Chase took in the boardwalk and all the interesting looking people. We also finally convinced him to wear his sunglasses, but like his Mama, he doesn't have much of a bridge to his nose so they kept falling down.



Next we rode the train. Chase is just learning to make the choo-choo sound and liked riding the train with Grampy!









We played some games. The only prize Chase wanted to win was "the ball," so Daddy won one.  Daddy also won two monkeys for our little monkey.

One thing you can get on the boardwalk that you can't almost anywhere else is a orange swirl ice cream cone. Grammy and Daddy were enjoying their cones when Daddy decided to give Chase a taste. He wasn't so sure at first...




 
...but a few bites later...


 ...he was in love!










Next up...Early mornings and Hawaiian shirts!
