Welcome to Asbury Park

Welcome to the Asbury Park Boardwalk....
Home of "The Boss"
All summer long, every Wednesday night, we come here for the amazing fireworks display!!

This is not your "typical" seaside boardwalk, it's an "interesting" place.....
 with a super cool and historic vibe!! I'll let the pictures tell the story!!


The world famous Wonder Bar.....
Bruce Springsteen performed here a few weeks ago, sadly, we missed that!!!!


Madam Marie's "Phychic" Temple


The Berkley Carteret.....
formerly owned by Johnny Cash!!!!


It was a gorgeous night at the Jersey Shore.


LaPlaca Pottery Works


gorgeous pottery.......


super unique stuff!!!!!


We met this super fun boy........
For $ 1.00, we got one of those "light up" necklace"s and a Michael Jackson dance and pose!!!! 


Can anyone say funnel cake?!?!
Extra sugar please!!!!!
It looks a little more like "we'll have some funnel cake with our sugar!!!

We ate that while we watched these...........






Oh what a night.......August 10, 2011

I love it all! Thank you for taking me places I will never see in person.

Ellie said...

I'm with Jill, it's nice to see places that we will never get to see. Although you should never say never. Lol.
I'd LOVE to see Bruce Springsteen - isn't he great!! Bringing out the teenager in me. Ha ha

Colorful pottery, love the blue piece on the bottom left, and funnel cakes and fireworks! I could go for that...looks like a wonderful evening. We'll be seeing funnel cakes next month in Branson at SDC. Have you ever made them? They are really quick and easy. Have a great day!

Loved seeing all these pics! I've always wanted to visit there since seeing 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' when I was child. So much history held there! Thanks for visiting my blog lately....I've enjoyed your comments. :)
