Point Pleasant's Festival By the Sea

 

The weather was gorgeous, and we were HUNGRY! Good thing there was a seafood festival in Point Pleasant today! The 34th annual Festival By the Sea clearly drew HUNDREDS of hungry people. There were dozens and dozens and dozens of vendors-- crafts, food, gifts, everything.
Boys had sushi; Jim had raw bar; I had crab cake sandwich and lobster roll (because how do you pick just one?)
And then, there was COTTON CANDY.
Family sized bag.



Cotton candy bliss, I tell you.
There was a sweet old lady who offered to take a picture of us, even though she "didn't know how to use that phone". We knew her finger was over the lens, but didn't have the heart to tell her. But the photo she took was priceless anyway ;)


 

Oliver was hell-bent on having a pony ride. But when we got to that area, the darn horses were "on break". Luckily, there was a beer garden nearby! We ran into my friend, Kim, and her family, and all laughed as Oliver danced to his rendition of Danza Kuduro.

 

When he eventually did get on that pony, you can bet he rode 'em like a real cowboy. Yee haw!

A fantastic afternoon, with sunshine and smiling faces, food, music and fun. We hope to be back next year! Restore the Shore, Point! We love you!
