July 3rd started with a “bang” … breakfast in bed for our new tienager!
We then set out for an early day starting with bowling (actually, a belated event for Elisa’s birthday). After a rough start, everyone improved on their second game, with Papa reliving his glory days 🙂 and the girls doing their best to humor his ego.
Then some shopping and gardening before a wonderful culinary evening of sushi & hand made ice cream!
The next day was off to Ocean City, NJ, to visit Zia & the family, starting with an early morning surrey ride.
Great beach weather, and great company to celebrate our daughter’s and nation’s birthday!
