Evening In Asbury

On this warm afternoon, we took at trip to AP to enjoy the CityArts Weekend. There were lots of people on the boardwalk trying to squeeze in one last weekend down the shore. We even saw a wedding take place on the beach.
The boys get a kick out of going on these old-school rides outside the new Silver Ball Pinball arcade/museum.

We watched as this boardwalk waterpark was built and completed last spring. Unfortunately, it is so expensive and we've never gone. Until tonight! Free admission this weekend, celebrating the close of the facility.
Had we packed bathing suits? No. But that was a small oversight. Mommy always has an emergency set of clothes tucked away in the car...



And on to the Art Show part... we were able to visit Jim's colleague's presentation. It was an interactive audio/visual piece. We manipulated parts of a vacuum cleaner and old TV sets to change the sounds that came out of the computer and the images on the screen.


All of the rest of the exhibits and festivities were downtown, on Bangs and Cookman Ave... but we never made it there. Too close to dinner time!

Then to Surf Taco... "Don't touch my taco, lady"... "All done!"... one last chance at fuse ball...


And onto Strollo's for dessert. The combination we tried tonight was cherry Italian Ice and vanilla soft serve. It could perhaps be the best dessert we've ever had. Definitely the best in Monmouth County. Give me a survey! We'll vote!
