A nice break, down the shore this weekend! Had fun exploring Somers Point with Amber and Tully, getting some beach to ourselves in Longport, enjoying some cocktails at the Point, walking to Seaview Docks, swimming at Somers Point and at Graveling Point, buying lots of soap, candles, coffee, wine and peanut butter at Smithville and getting some Graveling Point oysters and an amazing crab cake at Maxwell Shellfish!!

Although the trip changed a lot we still added to our travels along the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway (which we would have in our original trip as well).  I previously posted pictures from my travels along the TRIH in Eastern North Dakota and Western North Dakota.  We tried four new styles of pizza, ate lots of other delicious food, including plenty of seafood including Clam Cakes which I hadn’t had before, Needhams (chocolates with mashed potatoes and coconut inside: weird-sounding but delicious), switchel, birch sap soda and maple sap soda and sponge candy in Buffalo.  We also saw some of the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition including the New York State pavilion, now the Buffalo History museum.  President McKinley was assassinated while visiting the expo in Buffalo.  The same day of his assassination, Theodore Roosevelt was inaguarated at the Ansley Wilcox house. Only six other inaugurations have taken place outside of Washington, DC: Washington’s in New York and Philadelphia,  Adams’ in Philadelphia, Coolidge's in Plymouth Notch, VT after the death of Harding, Arthur's in New York after the death of Garfield and Johnson’s in Dallas after the death of Kennedy.

I love having a backyard, even if it’s a work in progress

Building a backyard. Part One.  How to not let Mt. William stop you from using your property.  Also how to drive your wife crazy and waste your free time.
