My Second Stop On My Journey~June 11-June16




















Well after a fabulous time in Hawaii, Gabi dropped me off with Laura. We met her at IHOP for breakfast.

After a yummy breakfast I headed off to go see Laura's house.


















The girls thought I could use a change. Laura had planned to bring me to Seaside & thought I could use some Jersey clothes & some Jersey hair. So they brought me to target and got me this cool skateboard & board shorts.

Next at Laura's house Rachel hooked me up with this radical red streak in my hair.

I think it makes me look kind of artsy.


What do you think?

















Next we took a group shot before gabi headed home & left me to Laura's care.











The next morning Laura got me up early & Caleb, Rachel, Laura, & I packed up & got in the car & headed to Seaside. I was so excited to see the Jersey shore. I mean Hawaii is nice, but nothing beats New Jersey's beaches.

Unfortunately it was rainy in Seaside so we only stopped to have this one picture taken...check out the ocean behind me. As you can see Ray & I are freezing our tooshies off.

So we decided to get back in the car & head towards Somerville again. Well the sky cleared up a bit & Laura & the kids suggested we stop at another Jersey beach, Sandy Hook. So we were off again on another adventure.

Here are some shots of me at Sandy Hook. In the first one I am relaxing on my towel. If you look closely you can see my new tattoo (Laura's husband David gave me a few too many glasses of red wine & the next thing I knew I woke up with a tribal tattoo around my ankle. Wow Laura & her husband really know how to show their friends a good time)& it didn't hurt a bit. In the other shot I am relaxing on the bridge of the sand castle that Caleb & Rachel built for me.












I have had a really good time visiting the beautiful Garden State, but I am ready to head off for my cruise. I will post again when I am packed & headed out to meet Amy & Jen!











My 1st Excursion! Destination; Oahu, HAWAII ~ May 28 - June 9

Hi! My name is MJ! My home base is over at Scrappin' Mojo.
I have just started on an epic journey around the world! My 1st stop was in NJ where I joined up with
Gabi and her family and we promptly jet-setted off to Hawaii!
Here I am on the Balcony of the Ohana, West Hotel in Oahu. Ellie was very sweet to pose with me!




















Here I am posing, though you can't see me very well, with Duke Kamanamoru, the Father of SURFING!




















Here I am, having breakfast at Denny's in Honolulu. We had breakfast here almost every morning!















What a beautiful, firy, Honolulu Sunset!















Shopping was a highlight of the trip! Look at these funky Tikis! I just had to stop and pose with them!




















Every evening we'd walk over to Waikiki beach and play in the waterfall pools and on the beach. There's NOTHING like the beach at night! It's such a calming, relaxing place to be!















We're back in NJ now and I'm off to spend time with Laura and her family! Stay tuned, I'll be blogging again real soon!
