The plane ride going. For all of you who know I hate flying... I did OK! Even looking at this picture makes my stomach flip. 
Once in Philly, on our way to the shore, we stopped by to see Pat and Rachel's beautiful home in New Jersey. The brother's... Tim, Pat and Jim.
We were blessed to rent a beautiful condo in Ocean City, NJ. Jim's sister Claire, her husband Chris, their three awesome children Kate, Adam and Ryan and Jim's mom Betty rented the downstairs and we had the upstairs. Our condo was a block from the beach and boardwalk!

This was a tender and touching moment when Aunt Claire share with the girls something she had been holding since their 16th birthdays. She presented them their first diamond ring! The girls were in shock... What a special 16th birthday gift Aunt Claire. Thank you!
Playing a game of Yahtzee.
Many nights were filled with "Wii Tournaments".
Jillian won this round against Ryan! Let me tell you that wasn't easy. The Ferdock kids are GOOD!!! Although they have been known to cheat, we won't tell if you don't.
Aww, Cassie with Ryan and Adam. I could give them a hug right now! They give the best hugs in the world. Your Aunt Melissa loves you guys sooo much...

Uncle Chris asked Jillian if she had done everything she wanted to do while on vacation. She told him she didn't get to eat any blue claw crabs. He said "Don't worry, we are having blue claw crabs tonight!". These are the blue claw crabs Uncle Chris got Jillian. I have to say Uncle Chris you are the best UNCLE!!!!!
On our last day we took a tour of Princeton University. This is one of the oldest Universities in the United States founded in 1746. What a beautiful campus!
