John and I took a trip the the Jersey Shore to visit family and take in the ocean. It was cold but well worth it.

We went to the boardwalk and I ate a sprinkle donut by the sea.

Then we watched this old guy surf fish. He caught a striped bass but it was a few inches to short.

We have visited both oceans this year, the best part is we were there together.
