We still didn't find an amazing bagel yet! But today, we found a bakery that had the absolute best banana chocolate chip muffins! It is called
Moester's and it is right off of Route 72 on the way to Long Beach Island (Woo hoo! This will be a stop each year on our way to Chowderfest!)
We decided to spend the day at
Island Beach State Park today - just chilled and beached. There were showers and a concession stand here - good since we were at a Wal-Mart last night! :) We wanted to boondock here tonight but you weren't allowed, so we ended up at a Wal-Mart again tonight (talk about a cheap road trip!)...we found a place to get hoagies nearby, so did that and then fell asleep stuffed!!
Today was our last day, so we had to find a great bagel!! We found a place called
Bagel Exchange where we got a pumpernickel and a French toast bagel - very good, but even better was we sat on the boardwalk overlooking the Atlantic (in Point Pleasant) to eat them.
We then spent today driving north as far as we could go in New Jersey - through Spring Lake, Belmar, Avon-by-the-Sea, and Bradley Beach. All of these beaches seemed very nice - there was a boardwalk that runs all along the beaches. We stopped and looked at Asbury Park (isn't Bruce Springsteen from here?) We ended at Highlands, NJ, which was as far as we could go - we could see the Statue of Liberty across the water (Sandy Hook Bay). Our last stop was to get Italian ice at Strollo's (Chelsea's recommendation). It was delicious!
We headed home from here...we had a good time exploring the Jersey shore - last minute trip turned out to be lots of fun! :)
