Visiting our friend Jack

A beautiful day here in New Jersey.

Parking at a familiar place, where someone special resides.

We saw them from afar and I called to them, “Jack! Jack!”

Jack is the old guy on the left. He’s been on these grounds at least 15 years. I’ve blogged about him before. I don’t know the names of the other horses, but when I called to Jack, they all came galloping towards us. The dark brown one really loved the attention and kept nuzzling us to pet him some more!

And then we hit the beach; so nice before the Memorial Day crowds hit next weekend!
