Today we went on a spur of the moment adventure to LBI. It's our second week of summer vacation already and I was crazy for an adventure. The kids would have been happy hanging out with friends (again) but I needed a change of scenery so we got in the car and made a day of it. We are lucky to have the shore only about an hour drive away. We were able to visit the Barnegat Lighthouse, enjoy an ice cream treat, play at the arcade, do a little shopping and compete in a round of mini golf. We each chose an activity and the day was awesome!
Kelsey and I made it up all 217 stairs in the lighthouse and Nick made it most of the way before his fear of heights kicked in. This was my activity to see something historical. We found a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop near the golf course so we stopped for a treat. Then as we were headed to Nick's choice of golfing we passed the arcade. We stopped in for just a few minutes and before long Kelsey was winning all of the tickets and had decided that this would be the activity she claimed as her choice. By the time we turned in the tickets, Nick had 305 and Kelsey a whopping 2,620! It was her lucky day! Then it was on to the mini golf course. Nick tried to talk us into 36 holes but we just couldn't imagine it in the hot sun. It was a great course filled with water traps and water falls. We had so much fun we didn't even add up the score card until tonight.
Thanks to Kelsey & Nick who are such incredible kids! I loved spending the day with you two. It was a fun filled day that was missing only one thing....Rob being with us. Maybe another time he can join us for an adventure day!
