Good Night, Sandy Hook, NJ

Sandy Hook, NJ, Monday, October 3

No school today for Rosh Hashanah. H. had 4 article deadlines, Figgy had college classes. Punch, Sug and I were free as birds.

Drove just over an hour to Sandy Hook. No entry fees after Labor Day, and pets allowed on beach after September 15.

We loved the bike path, sailboat on horizon, Cape-Codlike vegetation [berries, beach roses], swooping seagulls, clams Punch found in shells and fed to them, cute little blonde Russian boys, running into my childhood friend Denise [with Jonathan]--and the Jersey clam thin-crust pizza from Tommy's Tavern + Tap in nearby Sea Bright. We got it to go since we knew Sug could not be seated inside.

I returned to the sea to see the horizon clearly.

Good night.

  1. Beautiful memories for me. Spent most of my summers at "the hook" wth my parents and sister. We grew up on those beaches and the bay. This post makes me happy! Thank you!!

    1. Hi to our teacher treasure! How are you? We miss you. Hope all is well. No wonder you have such a sunny disposition....growing up on "the hook." What a gift our parents/grown-ups give us when they take us to the sea.....Love xo Alice
