New Jersey Shore vacations with the McCool Family

Every year most of my relatives rent a house in Ocean City, NJ and gather for a weeks worth of fun and relaxation. Given the ages range from newborn to over 60, and include 3 generations it makes for a fun and interesting group.

One of the main indoor activities is the annual Pinochle games, an example of which is shown here.

Sitting and relaxing or sleeping is another very popular activity,
whether it occurs on the porch... Shore 1997 Aunts sitting on the Porch
in the form of a nap... Shore 1997 Nancy and baby Hannah in Living room
or on the couch. Shore 1997 Bern and Sean on Couch
As one might imagine the beach is quite popular with all ages.

The kids always like riding bikes, tricycles, or strange yellow animals around in front of the house.
