We were lucky enough to swing 2 days away from LI and head to NJ for "Wiggles World" in Great Adventure Theme Park. What a blast we had! We managed to squeeze SO much in our 48 hours together.....
We drove down early Monday morning and first drove through the safari. The most exciting part for the kids was when the ostrich tried to eat my windshield wiper, the most exciting for John and I were seeing the Lions mating and Kaitlyn saying "look how much he loves her, he just wants to protect her." I thought we might have tinkled in our pants a little!!! Then off to the park! We headed right for Wiggles World. The kids had a BLAST. If anyone has a child who loves the Wiggles, this is the place to take them. Meet the characters up close and personal and all the rides are "wiggles" related. We headed out about 5pm, when the kids just started to get tired. We stayed at a hotel about 20 minutes away (believe it or not, that was the closest!). We ordered dinner in and swam in the pool which exhausted the kids even more (terrific!!). We all got a great night sleep and got up early and headed to the Jersey Shore for a quick walk. It was so beautiful (we were in Ocean Grove/Bradley's Beach) we decided that we might make that next year's vacation destination. Then, off to home and a boat load of traffic....ugh. As soon as we got home, we quickly unpacked the car and re-packed the cooler and headed to the beach. We found an amazing surf from Tropical Storm Bertha and after about an hour, headed to the boardwalk where they have live music every night all summer long. The kids danced, we had a drink and we headed home about 9pm. WOW!!! What an amazing 2 days.....
Yesterday, Kaitlyn, Mema and I went to the Little Mermaid on Broadway. It was spectacular! We had lunch at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co in Times Square and also toured "Toys R Us" where they have a 2 story Barbie Dream House!!! Boy did that make Kaitlyn's day!
Now we are home, anxiously awaiting Baby "G." She should be arriving some time on Saturday.....yeah!!!!
I created a photo show of our recent trip but can't figure out how to post the darn thing on here (if anyone knows how, i'd love to learn!!!), but here is the link:
