At The Shore...

As is the case every summer, we packed up and went to Cape May.  The big difference this year?  We drove.  Rather than a 6 hour flight, car rental and subsequent drive, we simply hopped in the car and were there 4 hours later.  Night and day.  There's so much to cover I'm going to go rapid fire thru a bunch of pictures...

Grandma and Alexis sitting and reading.



Evan and Grandpa about to go crabbing.



Trap going in.



Not a bad catch!



Evan playing with a friend on the beach.



Relaxing on the porch.



Water Spread.



Cheese!



Relaxing at Congress Hall



Look closely.  There are two peacocks in this picture.



My happy girls.



Zoo train.



At a farm.  It really smells like chickens (not in a good way).



Still at the farm.  Still smells like Chickens.



Alexis tried to sleep in a big girl bed.  She fell on the floor.  See how confused she looks?



Evan with the statue of Mr. Menz - our new favorite family restaurant.



Alexis on Grandpa's boat.  She wore a life jacket 2 years before Evan agreed to (thanks Dora!).

 

Alexis looking at the ocean.



Jill and Evan at the dunes.



The huge Cape May lighthouse.

Guess how long her blue shirt took to get brown?

Alexis is happy to be with Uncle Finley.

Now with Grandma and Grandpa!



And here's the entire crew.

In short:  an amazing summer break at the shore.
