It’s odd to think of our little Natalie as a “Jersey Girl,” but there is the fact. She was born in Edison, N.J., and is distinguished as the only actual Jersey native among “The Clarks of New Jersey.”
Mom is from the Philippines. Theo was born in New York City. And Dad was born in Indiana.
Saturday afternoon, we drove to Point Pleasant to enjoy an afternoon at the beach – but an offshore hurricane created havoc. Lifeguards prevented people from swimming, then shooed them off the beach entirely, making the Jenkinson’s Boardwalk area as crowded as the E-train platform during rush hour. Still, there were highlights. I record them here:
• Natalie demanded to ride by her herself on the elephant ride, and she picked a pink elephant.
• Theo won a Pliplup doll in the water gun game: “Don’t be shy, give it a try. It’s easy it’s fun, it’s the water gun!” He beat Dad by six inches.
* At Big Ed’s Barbecue on the way home, Theo and Natalie discovered the joys of tender baby back ribs.
