Cherry Crumb Pie


Well, we have exactly one week and one day before the boys' first day back to school. Another summer with no beach trip. No feet in the sand. No walks on the boardwalk at night.

I'm really sad about this, can you tell??

I have literally no room to complain, since our family vacation this year was to DISNEY WORLD. It was absolutely wonderful and I honestly can't wait until we can go again. But I definitely do miss the beach!

The last beach trip we took to Ocean City, NJ three summers ago. I was pregnant with Reuben and it was really hard walking so much! The following summer we had a crawling baby and we had just moved, so vacation plans were out. And of course this summer, having spent a lot of money at Disney, I really couldn't justify another expensive of even one night at the beach. The room rates at the Jersey shore are outrageous! Plus, with our size family, and the fact that Wesley snores (HA), we definitely need a suite for our needs.

So that makes this the longest I've ever gone without visiting the beach. I'm so lucky that we live within 3 hours drive to the Jersey Shore beaches, plus not that much further from MD, DE, even VA beaches. I'm thinking I know where our next year's vacation is going to be. :)

If it's any consolation for the summer being over with no opportunity to dip my toes in the ocean, it's all the fabulous FOOD that fall brings! Especially in our family, pies are a huge tradition. My mom has been making this Cherry Crumb Pie recipe for as long as I can remember! You can't go wrong with this one, that's for sure!
