We spent a lovely July 4th at Mike and Dor's home "down the shore". I love the scenic drive down the Navesink River, past sprawling estates home to celebrities such as John Bon Jovi, Queen Latifa, and Con's favorite, Bruce Springsteen. No celebrity citings, today, since most were gathered on the banks of the Navesink to watch the Red Bank fireworks display.
Though the weather was a bit rainy, spirits were high both figuratively and literally. The cousins spent all afternoon in the pool while the "grown-ups" enjoyed Mike's grillin': clams, shrimp, chicken breast and london broil, along with his specialty dish, spicy jumbalaya, and Dor's fabulous home made potato salad, followed up with Grandma Grace's famous cheesecake, and a well timed visit from "the icy man".
We made it back just in time for our hometown fireworks, which we watched from a neighbor's lawn.
