What a wonderful, jam-packed day. Although the day didn’t start out too well because of the weather, once my dada drove us to Asbury Park (pronounced ‘ash-berry’ by mama) for their yearly Oysterfest, all was wonderful.

I was very excited to go today because I finally got to meet a cousin of mine from New Jersey! We even got a chance to go to the beach so I could finally play in the sand and water for the first time ever!

I’m not sure why my dada didn’t take a picture of the raw oysters or garlic clams that they ate, but they took a picture of me walking instead

I think I can get used to this beach thing

Is it normally this windy? Maybe a California beach will be less windy

My dada’s explaining to me how I can’t go out there because he can’t swim

Here’s me with my mama and dada! Mama, is it a New Jersey thing to wear jeans to the beach?

High-fiving my new cousin!

Two of my favorite things! I got to eat (after waiting in line for a long time) noodles and I got to see giraffes last weekend. My mama and dada dragged me to a dumpling house, but I did get to try a lot of new things at the restaurant.

Afterwards, my dada got lost in the Bronx, but finally found his way to the zoo. If we would’ve gotten lost any longer, we would’ve had to ask for directions from Jenny from the block.
