    Relax on the Beach

    Belmar is my choice, but at this stage in the game ANY beach sounds pretty good.

    Ice Cream on the Boardwalk

    Kohr's ice cream on the boardwalk. It doesn't get any more summertime than that. Find a bench, watch the water and enjoy ice cream that's been around since 1915!

    Backyard BBQ

    Grilling when it's 5 degrees just isn't the same as when it's 80. The smell of a fresh grill is one of my favorite summer smells. There's nothing like a warm summer night with friends and family in the backyard relaxing and throwing back a few.

    If you're lucky enough to have a convertible, how great is it to cruise down the GSP on a nice summer day with the top down? My windows and sunroof will do just fine.
