28 June

47429 - Great day on the beach at Spring Lake, New Jersey. Temperature 88, sunny and water temperature of 59 - perfect. Had a little trouble getting the rest of the group into the water, but after a little time of watching me have fun body surfing they were ready to try it. There were lots of other people there also enjoying the sunny weather down on the Jersey shore. Around 5 pm the thunderstorms again rolled in and drove us from the beach. Tomorrow it is on to Norwich, New York for a long over due reunion with a OLD Air Force buddy. It's about a four (4) hour trip but I'm sure it will pass rapidly as I'm looking forward to seeing him again and reliving some old memories and sharing some new ones. He promised ice cold beer on arrival. Then Monday afternoon we will turn south and head for Washington, DC. Time is passing at a faster pace then I would like - and soon we will be tuning west and heading home. Departing paths with Lisa and Matt as they are headed back to Seattle later tonight.
