A Cape May Kinda' Day!!

Friday was a gorgeous day here at the Jersey Shore...
it was a Cape May kinda' day!!
 
If you ever visit New Jersey,
 make sure you include a stop in Cape May.
It's such a cute little seaside community with lots of amazing
history, shopping, eateries, trolley tours and horse drawn carriage rides.
 
We had such an amazing day...
sun filled skies and cool breezes coming in off the ocean,
the weather was perfect!!
 
Here's a picture tour of how we spent the day.
First stop...
 

 for dining alfresco...
afternoon tea and tea sandwiches.
Top tier...scones, bread and muffins with clotted cream.
The second tier has tea sandwiches, egg salad, chicken salad,
and turkey with asparagus and dill mayo.
Third tier...no explanation is needed, everything was extremely tasty.

 His...

 hers...

 and the view!!

 A photo op...

 with this very cool antique fire truck.

See...we are here!!
 
 The hubs liked this picture better, because he looks "thinner"
so I included it.
Aren't I a wonderful wife??

 Shopping...
 
relaxing at Congress Hall,
 
and dinner at the Mad Batter.

 This was mine.
There is a filet mignon under those onions and mashed potatoes along side.
I think I may have died and gone to food heaven.
 
The hubs had pasta and did not particapate in the food photography.
He did say it was delicious!!
 
There was a sunset bike ride after dinner,
followed by a sleepy ride home.

Glorious day! Love pituresque small towns with cuteness everywhere! And by the sea....all the better! You are a wonderful wife, though I'm not sure telling people WHY Chuck wanted the photo included gives you true points in that category ;-)

Ah, more pictures of home :) Haven't done it in quite a while but we used to take the Cape May Ferry from Lewes, walk around town, then come back.
He does look thinner in #2. Remember the old Playtex bra commercials? "You're suddenly shapelier!" Was he wearing a Playtex tee shirt? LOL!

This looks like a beautiful place! And the food photos made me soooooo hungry. :-) Love the photos of you two.

A friend of mine just mentioned Cape May--he and his wife might go up the coast from Virginia in their boat and spend some time there.

Judy said...

But what was the beach like? Sometimes, I want to be at a beach, any beach, so much that it hurts...
I love all your craft finds, and the birds running around loose in the store are so cute!!! I would love to visit there!!

Fun place and what yummy looking food.

Linda said...

I never really spent much time in Cape May because we were always in a hurry to catch the ferry! In 2012 we went to nearby Leamings Run Garden and it's worth a visit. (http://webcroft.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-garden-state-garden.html)
