Summer Fun At The Jersey Shore

Down the shore, where Thursday night's are special and everything is alright

The boardwalk rides are colorful and fun.

Not for me...but those who ride seem to really enjoy them.

The boardwalk we visit is 

Jenkinsons Boardwalk in Point Pleasant, NJ

They were celebrating Christmas in July.

Next stop...

Salty's Inlet Ice Cream

Ice Cream was included on Thursday Nights adventure.

The hubs loves the 

- Norma K -

which is named after the popular fishing boat docked right across the street.

Soft Vanilla Ice Cream, Brownie Pieces, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, Sprinkles and a Cherry.

They gave us 2 spoons so I had a little taste, I could feel the cavities developing as I ate.

This Ice Cream was huge.

Lastly, the fireworks...

and as always they were outstanding.

We drove past the inlet before heading home...

There were a few commercial fishing boats heading in for the night!

The Hummingbird Garden At Allaire State Park

 This garden is located at the entrance to Allaire State Park.

I don't know who maintains it, I would like to know as it is beautiful...

and the hummingbirds love it!

The plants are neatly manicured and the feeders are always filled with fresh sweet water!

I think there were 4 or 5 hummingbirds active in the gardens while I was there.

I must have taken 40 pictures and they all look the same.

This is a Female Ruby Throated Hummingbird.

The male has a ruby colored neck, the female does not.

I wish I knew who started and maintains this garden, I would like to thank them!
