We have started our last long road trip. Four weeks of craziness. Originally planned as 8 weeks until I caved to peer pressure and cut it in half. Surprisingly,  the most pressure was from Pat who wanted the kids to have more relaxing at home time before school starts in late August. 

Our first stop, for two nights,  is the Berkeley Hotel in Asbury Park,  NJ. One of our rare 2 night stops for this trip. We will spend the day on the boardwalk meandering past the Wonder Bar (nightclub and grill where Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi played) and do a bit of shopping as Brian forgot to pack a swimsuit. 

I hope to be able to post a few pictures later today of the sites we have seen and some of the kid’s exploring (if they cooperate) .

Take care y’all
