I saw three things take place simultaneously in Point Pleasant Beach this week that brought summer one step closer.

First of all, the ticket booth stands went up at every beach entrance. Not that we like to pay to get on the beach...but it is truly a sign that swimming season is coming.

Then I looked to the left and saw this white pickup truck in the sand...carrying the first of the lifeguard stands. That's always a good sign!

And then, to my right, the sand plows (I'm sure there's a boy term for that, lol) creating smooth pathways from the Boardwalk down to the beach near each ticket booth that will then be covered with rolled-out walkways.

Now once Jenkinson's plants the palm trees (and yes, they plant real ones for the summer) we'll be all set!
