Terrific day. Arrived up north abut 9:30 and, after getting the two little ones, L. and L., to gather their belongings (they had stayed over), we left for the new trail nearby. This is in Monmouth County and had been a railroad track. Great idea--which has been done several times--of converting what's already there to a walking trail.
Actually, it's also for bicycles, horses, and leashed dogs, of which there were a few. It was very enjoyable. Coffee, bagels, grapes, and doughnuts were served and after a few boring politicians spoke, we walked about a half-mile down. Would have gone further, but the kids weren't anxious to continue.
After, we picked up Joelly and went to the Westampton (no "h") Day fair. Children bounced in the bouncy-ball thing, climbed the wall thing, and had ice cream. We went over the the National Weather Station across the street, and took the last tour of the day--very interesting, too.
Took L. and L. home, then stayed for dinner out on the deck--salmon, and luscious pasta with fresh veggies; left for home about 7:00. It was great to be there together on a hot and sunny day; much cooler this morning.
