Specifically to celebrate my 60th at the beach, see my foster brother who lives in NJ. I landed in Newark before 9 am, he was waiting. We'd thought to go to a NJ beach, but decided to drive to Brighton because we grew up going there. We had a lot of fun. I drove to NJ to see him 6 years ago, and we then drove upstate, but literally hadn't set foot in NYC since 2004.

Despite the changes, I found it much the same.
