Celebrating at the beach...

We had a great time celebrating my birthday at the beach. It was so fun to getaway even if it was just overnight. We headed to Long Branch on Sunday afternoon and started relaxing in our hotel room right away. Later we headed to dinner. Some friends of ours introduced us to Freddie's Pizzeria a couple years ago and it has become a favorite of ours. They have an amazing Italian salad and ultra thin pizza.

After dinner we headed to the beach for a walk and to scope out our spot for the next day.

Monday morning we enjoyed breakfast at our hotel and hit the beach at 9:30. The weather was gorgeous, not to hot or humid and there was a great breeze. The kids loved being in the water. Not me, a little to chilly.

This is to prove that I was really at the beach since moms usually are taking all the pictures.

Before heading home we took a walk down the boardwalk to Pier Village, which has shops and restaurants including a Red Mango frozen yogurt store. We all enjoyed a cool treat.

I couldn't ask for a better birthday. Love my family. Love the beach. Love being able to getaway.
