When I tell you this place where I live is amazing,
I mean it!!
Summer brings the crowds,
Spring is the time to get out to explore and revisit all that is
special about the Jersey Shore.

Saturday we went to Historic Smithville...
After walking around, shopping for about an hour...
we had a late lunch, early dinner at the Smithville Inn.
Can you believe that I forgot to take a picture of the food?
Me neither!!
We both had the same thing, grilled chicken with pesto pasta
and cherry tomatoes!
Topped with pine nuts, it was delish!
Filled with history...
beautiful reminders of the season...
and vintage art.
Some of these pieces are really old,
the Inn itself dates back to 1787...
and has this fun sand sculpture out front!!
Now I am going to share images of some of the shops.
This is a real picture dump, so feel free to move through them quickly.
Just don't miss the fourth one!!
My favorite shop...
his favorite shop...
what he does as I shop...don't miss the purple purse in this one!!
And the buldge in his pocket...a recent purchase of cashew clusters,
his favorite, from the Sweet Shoppe!!

Such a super fun day, I love this guy!!

What a fun and lovely place. I bet it is fun to go in the spring I bet it is packed out in the summer. Oh and I do love that purple purse. :)
What a wonderful place! I love the old things in the Inn. That looks like my kind of place. And I would love to browse through those shops. I'm afraid I'd be hanging around that candy store too long. :-)
