The weekend in Avalon.

It has been a perfect weekend in Avalon. The weather couldnt have been better – okay, maybe a little less wind..but it was fantastic.
My two youngest sisters are living and working in Avalon this summer. Our first stop apon arrival was for Ice Cream – this is my youngest sister Rory at the ice cream/candy shop where she works.Â
Later that day we went and visted my other sister Wesley, who works at the pizza shop down the street.Â
The ice cream shop has a 10 scoop ice cream challenge where you eat 10 scoops of ice cream and try to beat the times of the winners. You can choose any flavors you want and its covered in whipped cream and a cherry.   those are cups of warm water to help with the brain freeze. The guys both beat the winning time by a minute! Jarrett came in with 4 minutes 3 seconds and Andy with 4 minutes 15 seconds. and then, when it was all over – they ordered more ice cream!  they said they couldnt actually taste the ten scoops as they were just shoveling them into their mouths, so they felt they needed to eat a couple more scoops in order to enjoy the taste.  the owner said that it was the first time anyone has ordered ice cream after eating 10 scoops of it!Â
The guys had never really surfed before, so I tried to give them some basic instruction and send them into the ocean. My dad is a big surfer and I tried it for a while when i was younger… I helped as much as I could from the shore. Not the best waves for surfing, but they did really well for their first time.
They finally decided they had enough and just jumped in the ocean. Â It was a really beautiful evening.

Avalon looks like a super place for R & R after your trip. Another amazing place in our country that I never knew about. QAK has shown me a lot about the USA. Thanks-it’s been such a treat to check the site every day. I’ll miss it!
Prepare the confetti! Team QAK is nearing NYC, Woo Hoo, we should have a parade.
Thank you so much for the visit and the pictures of you all jumping into the Atlantic Ocean. (Quinn, The disc with those pictures is in the mail). It was a wonderful week made extra special as my nephew returned from Iraq to the cheers and clapping of volunteers in Baltimore (BWI) Airport. That was just awesome!
I to will miss this web site and wonder what I will do for the adventure??
I’m one proud dad and proud also of the team as a whole. Great group of young people brought together for a neat goal and still talking to one another as they jumped into the Atlantic Ocean.
CONGRAULATIONS QAK! Well done.

Ok guys, so what ARE we (the faithful blog followers)going to do for the rest of the summer? Suddenly computer holds no more interest… hm-m-m. Maybe I can re-read all this from the beginning.
By the way, Avalon looks very much like parts of Rehoboth Beach, DE where the Staneks spent many of their summers.
Well done team QAK ! ! !
I’m so glad you made it home safe and sound. It was truly a joy meeting you and reading of your wonderful adventure’s along the way. I will miss my daily routine, checking in on QAK. Thanks for all the FUN you have shared with us the last 3 months. Don’t forget Philip, South Dakota is just a bike ride away.
What a sweet-bitter day for so many! I’m just so glad I got a chance to be a part of this adventure. Being there for all the turns and twists in your route. Feeling a part of your daily grind. Remembering my past travels across the same countryside. A good ride!
I’m so glad I was able to meet you guys. And watch as you enjoyed & shared the experience with each other in your posted pix, on the observation deck in Pittsburgh, catching waves in the Atlantic, relaxing with the sisters. You guys definitely rock while you roll.
I’m so glad I was able to “meet” all the people on this blog. Jill and BikingVikings and Dorothy (sweet Dorothy) and Trudy and each of you who have made this such an encouraging consequence for allowing trust in strangers. This is my most important take away.
Three bike riders have pulled together quite an extensive “support” group. Three people on bikes have pulled off an awesome feat!
Congratulations! Way to go! Very strong!
Keep rollings
