Chris Christie says public outcry over his decision to lounge with his family on a public beach that was closed during New Jersey`s government shutdown "upset his children more than anything else" since he`s been in office.
The two-term Republican governor made the comments Thursday night during his regular radio call-in show on 101.
Christie was photographed over the Fourth of July weekend by NJ.com at Island Beach State Park, where the state provides a summer home to the governor. Christie ordered the shutdown of nonessential state government, including state beaches and parks, amid a budget impasse.
