Florida-New Jersey Friends Weekend-September 18-21

This past Thursday started our Florida-New Jersey Friends Weekend which we hosted at our beach house. We were on a cruise this past February with most of these friends. We had 17 Florida friends and 13 New Jersey friends here at our house. We picked up Debby and Marty at the AC airport Thursday night, they are full time Florida residents. On Friday, two local friends came to the house. As the day went on, we had our friends from Maine come in by car. Our friends from Upstate New York came by car. We had friends from Michigan come after them. Our friends from Delaware picked up two couples from Florida who arrived at the Philly airport. We had 18 for dinner Friday night. We hosted 12 of the 18 people here at our house, the others stayed in a local apartment which they really enjoyed. On Saturday most of us boated to Atlantic City for the day. We invited the New Jersey friends for Saturday night's dinner. They were in charge of appetizers and desserts. The Florida friends were to make something from where they are from. For instance, Jane and Paul from Maine made a "moose" meatloaf. Jeannie made a Cuban dish etc. We had a total of 30 for dinner that evening. We chilled for most of Sunday. Some went shopping while others went to the beach for a swim. We had yummy chili and hot dogs that evening, thanks to Janice and Debby. Janice brought ice cream and fixings for ice cream sundaes, they were so good! Most people left on Monday, Debby and Marty left Tuesday at noon. All in all it was a wonderful time!!!
