What a fun way to spend a beautiful summer day! Today a bunch of friends gathered to celebrate my good friend Natalie Buchkovich's birthday! And she is a whopping 23 today! Watch out, she's gettin' up there! So to celebrate, we went to Ocean City, NJ. It takes about an hour and a half to get out there, so the trip is definitely worth it. I have been to the beaches on the Pacific and the Gulf Coast, but never in the Atlantic. It was so packed! It felt we were entering a scene of a movie. There were fun little shops, like the kind you may see in Chinatown, only All-American, for miles. I really haven't ever experienced anything like it. We had a great time! Happy Birthday Natalie!

Mason killed a lot of minutes chasing seagulls. You can vaguely see the vicitm in the left corner. (He is camofluage with the beach)

This is the view from the top of the ferris wheel we went on. It just shows how packed the beach was. And it had died down at this point!

Alyssa, Mason, and Yamani were teaching Bryan how to build sandcastles. They even built a moat.

Alyssa and Mom! After the ferris wheel

The Bunch!
