The boys and I left DC on Tuesday, July 29th on a great adventure. We were heading to Springfield, Vermont and a week's stay in a log cabin, but there were many side routes and stays with friends and family organized along the way.
Tuesday, we drove up to Long Beach Island in New Jersey to spend a few nights with my friend from Peace Corps, Darren, and his son Evan. We've visited with them there several times in the last 5 years, and Darren's parents Frank and Lydia are often there, too, and they seem to find Maceo and Cassius delightful, which is lovely for me to watch. Lydia especially was concerned with feeding Cassius something/anything he would like, and Maceo was happy to wolf down the fish, chicken, and pasta dishes she placed in front of him. We played in the surf and both boys had a great time learning how to boogie board. We went to the local water park and spent several hours sliding and splashing. And we had an intense bout of miniature golf, the first of two golfing outings on the trip.

The boys got waaaaay into boogie boarding. Cassius was a little more adventurous than Maceo, especially at first, but they both really liked it.
