Cape May

In a moment of weakness (and perhaps remembering the loooong drive up on Sunday), Den agreed to take the Cape May-Lewes ferry home. It took longer to get to Cape May than we expected, so we only had about an hour on the beach, but after a quick spin through town, we found a spot that seemed more quiet than others, paid our $5/person for adults and headed across the warm glorious sand.

I must admit, I didn't expect the houses to be quite as large as they were. But then the next block in, all the houses were 'normal' sized. Pretty funny.
Not sure if Eddie knew what he was doing when he agreed to walk towards the water with dad and throw a rock in. He definitely commented about how cold it was at the beach. I had forgotten their cool weather clothes and in a fury, when out shopping one night after bedtime to get long pants, long sleeves, and jackets. It was freezing.

I love traveling, but to this day, the most difficult packing for me is to pack for a climate other than the one I am experiencing. I always pack with the mantra of 'I can always buy it if I really need it'. We really needed the warmer clothes! There were actually some people in the water, I wondered where they were from. Den claims he wasn't cold as he rolled up the kid's brand new long pants. J refused to wear her super adorable new coat--it wasn't pink, so I think I'll have to trade it in for pink...
Den and I saw the below picture happening at the same time, just cracked us up, of Josie 'doing a push up' in the sand.

Then she pursued sand-castle destroying...

They had a great time and it made me really want to drive out to the shore a couple times this summer even though the water is always too cold for me.
