Cape May Saturday

This past Saturday we decided to take a mini road trip before Memorial Day traffic to visit Cape May, NJ. A few friends have been telling us it is a cute, sleepy little beach town to visit, and we would have to agree! (I forgot my camera, so a few of the pictures were from places we visited that I borrowed online)

Cape May is around 2 hours from us, and at the bottom tip of the New Jersey. With a quick ferry ride, you can set foot on Delaware's shore. The first place we checked out was a local institution called The Lobster House, where we did not have any lobster, but instead shrimp and chicken fingers (hey, we're a family of four eaters now!). It was an adorable restaurant.. my favorite part was the waitresses uniforms. They are red, white and blue with scarfs... flashback 1950's and so cute!

 

Drinking her apple juice.. Look at all those teeth!

Somebody thought the lobsters at the table next to us were a little scary.

 After we had lunch we drove to the Cape May Lighthouse. It was overcast and a little chilly, so obliviously this was a picture I borrowed. You could pay to go inside and climb to the top, which I would have probably tried if I didn't have to carry a 20 lbs. child :)

 

Practicing walking.. big stuff!

We visited Washington Street Mall, which is sort of like 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, except the shops are more touristy. They had a shop dedicated to bubble baths, soaps and comfy robes. Jarrett had to bribe me to leave with a visit to an ice cream shop.

 

Washington St. Outdoor Mall

Lindsay saw the horse and carriages and got SO excited... she thought Princess Sophia was riding in one of them. Madison saw the horses and called them "Pup Pups". She did see her fair share of doggies that day too!

This is for you Deb... Tons of adorable Victorian houses!

 They had blocks of Bed & Breakfasts, all in restored Victorian mansions. I've never stayed in a B & B, but if I did, would like to try one here! We walked to the beach and let the girls put their feet in. Lindsay was fine until a rogue wave soaked her pants, and Madison giggled with delight when the water touched her feet. Maddie wasn't a fan of her feet touching the sand.

 

Wind = Crazy hair

 

We took off  Maddie's jeans to let her get her feet wet... look at those itty bitty legs!

Here's a video Jarrett took of Madison getting her feet wet in the ocean!! Enjoy!
