Christopher's Birthday in Ocean Grove

Christopher celebrates his Birthday in the Grove and after 24 hours with la familia Bowers/Wallick he gets why we love it here so much! He won't wait three years before the next visit!

The Tents of Ocean Grove-Summertime

From Memorial Day until Labor Day, summer dwellers adorn their wooden structures with colorful canvas and ornamental flowers.

Tenting is still a treasured way of life in Ocean Grove. Today, 114 tent structures can be seen nestled around the Great Auditorium. Descendants of the early families continue to carry on this special tradition. Some tents have passed from generation to generation. Life truly slows down during the summer in Ocean Grove.

Thailand bets on Ocean Grove

Oy makes his way from Washington, DC to place some bets on the Haskell races at Monmouth Park. We meander along the Ocean Grove and Asbury Park Boardwalks observing the flurry of activities. A delicious meal the first night at Stella Marina (although not quite worth a 2 hour wait) and then a mediocre meal the second night at Bistro Ole. Even though the last day it rained, Oy at least felt the sand between his toes!
