I finally made it to Taylor’s house at 03.00am after her Dad very kindly got up in the middle of the night, came to find me and my v limited wifi signal and then stayed up to start his day (😱)!
T showed me around the house, I showered and could not wait to climb into bed.
Around 5hrs later, I woke up and was greeted by Taylor’s mum and their pets. T had been to get us bagels from the place I remembered from the last time I visited.
After a quick repack we were on the road to their family’s lakehouse for a couple of days. We pulled up, dropped our stuff off, made some snacks and headed out to the bay to do some shopping.
A couple of hours later, Taylor’s mum drove us to the other side of Long Beach Island to see where the bay meets the ocean, conveniently marked with a Barnegat Lighthouse. On the way we passed some pretty crazy holiday homes, most of them bigger than schools I’ve taught in!
Then it was food time so we stopped for pizza and salad, then headed back to the house. On the way we decided to rent a movie to watch in the evening. We got back and showered in probably the coolest shower I have ever seen! When I get in it tomorrow, I’m taking a pic first. Have you ever showered outdoors, stark, in the rain, with the birds singing in the evening? It’s an experience I would definitely recommend!
Girls night in at the house consists of 3 Jersey girls, ice cream and a rented rom com- sounds pretty good to me! Looking forward to catching up on some rest before the rest of the trip too.
Speak soon,
