Celebrating New Years Eve

That title sounds so funny to me.

I don't really consider New Years to be a holiday, nor is it one we ever "celebrate".

Usually in bed long before the ball drops, 

I'm not even sure these two people have ever seen the ball.

But - one thing we do every year is take a ride down to Casino Pier in Seaside Park

for fireworks at 5 p.m.

This girl cannot resist fireworks.

I put on the boots, we brave the cold wind from the ocean and enjoy a wonderful winter display.

We always arrive a few minutes early,

the ocean looked like a lake and there wasn't a single soul on the beach.

Casino Pier, the best place to view the fireworks,

we always set up shop right in front of Lucky Leo's.

Something new I noticed, inscribed messages on the boards, which I find very cool.

The fireworks were beautiful and you can't beat seeing them at 5 p.m.

It's nice for families with young children and people like me, who can't stay up that late!

So - that's a wrap on 2016!
