Red Bank is also close to Atlantic Highlands and the Mount Mitchell overlook. On a clear day, you can see the Manhattan skyline. And since you can also see the spot where the Twin Towers once stood, the site has been turned into a 9/11 memorial. Our original plan was to take a high-speed ferry across the bay into Manhattan on Sunday for the pickle festival. But not so many ferries run on Sunday afternoon, so we decided to drive. You'd be surprised how many cars are trying to get in and out of the Holland Tunnel on Sunday. That part was not so fun.

Don't worry, Lar. I won't.
Also near Red Bank is the biggest Whole Foods I'd ever seen. I would happily trade ours just for the bulk aisle. Our friend Larry and I spent an exhausting part of the afternoon shopping for dinner: curried fish fillet with fresh tomato chutney, curry-roasted cauliflower and Indian-style zucchini fritters. Oddly enough, there was a Dairy Queen (DQ to those in the know) right next door. We were forced to make a detour for an afternoon snack that had "Jersey Shore" written all over it.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore and my family all still lives there and I think I may have had DQ a total of 5 times in my life. Nothing about it says "Jersey Shore" to me at all :-)
Taffy! Stromboli! Ice Cream! And, of course, the smell of coconut tanning oil. Isn't that what being at the shore is all about?
Of course, your point is well taken, Nicole. But we did pass right by Bon Jovi's house on the way to the DQ. And I swear the guy in line in front of us looked just like Bruce Springsteen....
