A Stroll On The Asbury Park Boardwalk

 This past Sunday, we decided to go for a walk/ride on the Ocean Grove boardwalk.

We ended up in Asbury Park, the boardwalks connect as the towns are right next to each other.

I wanted to check on the fox that usually nest annually under the boardwalk, 

they were not there, but we just continued in that direction, it was a good decision.

The sun was so bright in the sky, the temperature was so warm...

it felt like summer.

It looked like summer as well, the boardwalk and the beaches were packed with people.

That's not really my jam but it felt so good to be out, 

the sun felt awesome...so we stayed, had a really nice walk and enjoyed the view of the ocean.

When we got to the Convention Center, there was a small showing of cars, maybe 10.

I really enjoyed seeing the cars.

We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants

Stella Marina

which means "star of the sea" their spaghetti and meatballs is the best I have ever eaten.

We each had a bowl of spaghetti and shared the meatballs.

The hubs was a real sport, posing in the male mermaid cutout!!

At The Inlet

There were no ducks, loons, herons, geese or cormorants at the inlet on this day.

There were a few gulls and plenty of majestic clouds, they were in fact breathtaking.

This first picture looked like a painting to me, everything about it.

We sat in the car and enjoyed a snack and the view.

The commercial fishing boats were docked, I think most of them go out at night.

Afterward, we went to our favorite sandwich shop, The Beanery for sandwiches 

and although I know it is way past Easter this tree was sitting right outside,

decorated for Easter.

I just had to share pictures.

I wonder what they will do for summer, maybe shells and sand dollars...

I can't wait to see!
