Hubby and I had a nice weekend — I told Hubby it was “His Day” so he got to decide where we went and what we did. We hit up downtown Somerville, NJ and there happened to be a car show. We also went yard sale-ing and “down the shore”.

Downtown Somerville was a nice leisurely stroll. The weather was perfect and the cars were pretty cool too. A lot of the cars had lights underneath, and fancy paint jobs. My favorite was the yellow car you will see below with iridescent flames painted on it — oh and it had a corvette engine! Vroom Vroom!

We stopped by the music store and bought some used CDs.

Hubby and I enjoyed the car show, and walking around in the fresh air. And as an added treat — I busted out an impromptu rendition of “We are the Champions” in the parking lot – just for Hubby.

I am pretty sure he enjoyed it — Hey.. hey wait for me…

So then the next morning after sleeping until 8am we headed out to check out some yard sales (Hubby’s 2nd favorite hobby) and then we were on our way “down the shore”. We realized half way there that we had gotten caught up in finding yard sales and had taken the long way to the beach. We didn’t mind though because it was a beautiful day for driving.

When we finally got near the ocean we headed over a couple bridges…

And finally made it to the beach. We laid out the beach sheet, and we ready for some relaxing. Hubby had to check the temperature of the water — this is the best I could do as far as a picture. I was already nestled in for my long winter’s…. summer’s nap.

After our relaxing soak in the sun we went to Surf Taco (yummm!) for dinner before we met up with our friend Joe. We walked along the Seaside Heights boardwalk and stopped in a couple arcades to play games.

In the first arcade we got enough points for 2 Chinese Finger puzzle thingers and a beautiful ring for me. (Joe became a bit frantic when he REALLLLY couldn’t get the chinese finger puzzle off!! LOL)

In the next arcade we played Skee-Ball as well as other games and earned points for larger prizes. Skee ball balls are no longer wooden — they are some middle weight plastic crap!

Hubby got a snail – and an octopus who promptly attacked the snail.

Joe got a paddle-ball game but changed his mind and traded in for a water gun!

I got a couple prizes as well. I got a neon orange piggy bank and another prize that will remain a secret until I can devote an entire blog post to it. It’s that cool – trust me!!

The next day we did some yard work (I weeded everything in sight) and Hubby laid down a brick paver section near the shed. Phewwww – we were busy little bees. Good Weekend.
