Our Jersey Home

Our Apartment Building in Jersey City

We're settling into our home for the summer.  We have an apartment in the Southhampton (second from left in photo), one of a number of large apartment buildings in the Newport/Pavonia section of Jersey City.  Our apartment is on the 14th floor of the 30-story tower, and our windows face East, which gives us a fabulous view of Manhattan.  (If you click on the photo to enlarge and then zoom in you can see the Empire State Building in the gap between the buildings.)  Our building is on the Hudson River, and we are right on a bike path that takes us over to John and Nancy's apartment, which is 1-1/2 miles away.

Went over to visit our darling granddaughter, Julia.  She just keeps getting cuter and cuter.  Then we met up with Dan and Natalie at the Zeppelin Biergarten, which is just a few short blocks from John and Nancy's place.  We had a great time, including pizza at John's pizza, which many claim has the best pizza in the NYC area.  It was delicious, and Mark said the gluten-free pizza was the best he's ever had.

We haven't been riding our bikes much yet -- still getting settled into things.  But hoping for a couple of rides this weekend, including a ride to Hoboken, and a ride to Brooklyn for a BBQ!
