Old Man with a Hat
With summer coming to an end, this being Labor day weekend and me missing my vacation because of a hospital visit I have been pushing all month to get out with the family on weekends. Boardwalks, Amusements, Lakes, Movies, Pools, the shore.... anything to keep summer close and make memories.
This Saturday past we headed to the shore, Long Beach Island and the convertible was the car of choice, she seemed to make it into a lot of pictures...........
Morning at the diner...... I wanted to smack the New York, foreign car driving yuppie who said " Is this yours ? Yes it is. 65? Nope, 70. They never painted them like that in 1970. Actually thats the original paint" ................ "Table for Diane"...... Thats us.....
After breakfast we went to the Ocean for several hours then to the local motel pool that we "sometimes visit".
Afterwards we went to the south end of the Island for a brief visit..........
ON a clear day you can see the Atlantic City skyline 25 miles south
The Island is 18 miles long after this stop we headed North to the other end to Barnegat Light house.....
Dolphins were out in the bay.......
Time for dinner, so we parked the car and went into one of our favorite place on the island
It didnt matter where we went, people from all walks of life were drawn by the old girl. They walked out of their way to see her, some for a photo op, posing next to her. That is awfully flattering ...............................................................................
A few on the ride home...........
Happy to see I am holding onto my hair, with no gray
The ride home is usually chilly in the evening, not on this day. Top down weather the whole day. Perfect day...............
