Cape May Adventure

Last Tuesday, Ariel got her Old Timers shirt.  Funny, she's 14 and an old timer already.  

We drove South to Cape May.  It's a little over 1/2 hour away.  We passed by the Bruce Willis Service Area.  

We hadn't been to Cape May in a while.  It was so pretty.  So many old Victorian houses.  

There was a cute shopping area.  

Congress Hall Hotel.  

It was so nice out.  It was approaching 100 at home.  

We had lunch then checked out the beach.  

There's a walkway along the beach.  

This line was for hot dogs!

We wandered around town.  

So pretty.

Then it was time for serious shopping.  

We found a book by a teacher from the boy's school.  We sent him this.  He was excited.  

Ice cream time!

Hit the spot!

We left and drove through Wildwood on the way home.  Remember the Wildwood sign in Ariel's cheer pics?

The big boys scheming.  

Another beautiful sunset.  

We met Dave and Julia and Steph for dinner at Tideline.  

We had fun eating, drinking and talking!

Last Wednesday morning, I got up early and went to Ocean City to walk with Jenn.  We walked over 2 miles on the boardwalk.  

Not sure what this was.  

It's quiet in the morning.  

I got see Jenn's new great house.  This is the view from her roof deck.  You can see Gale Force.  Where is Eli?!?

Ariel in a bathing suit with boys!

We went to the pool.  Cousin Katie was there with her kids and Alex and her family.  

The kids all played nicely together.

Then we all went to dinner at the Dairy Bar.  There was a magician!

Nice car!

My poor scooter is still at the shop, still not fixed.

 

Rides with Margot

Last Monday we got a surprise.  Harper has her phone at camp for bat mitzvah lessons.  The girls were able to text me and send a picture!

I ran some errands and ran into an old friend Adam.  There was a time I would see him often when I was living in the city.  

Then I ran into Melissa, Stef and Lauren and a cute dog.  

It was nice to catch up with the girls.  

Aden had 3 friends with him all week.  They did not bother us but they came in late every night making it hard for us to sleep.  They had fun.

Amy and I and the twins ran some errands.  Eli wanted flags for the 4th.  

We had lunch at the taco place.  

Junior's Doughnuts is back!  I'm so excited!

We looked at bikes.  

Then we went for a bike ride.  

We passed by the hot dog place.  I need to try it!

Some fun pics of Ariel.  

This picture was from a few years ago when Margot went with us to Ocean City.  

We took her that night and reenacted the picture!

Amy and I can't go on the rides anymore but Margot loves it.  Of course they had to go on Gale Force first.  Eli has been talking about this coaster all winter.  

There they go!

They are in the middle row.  I love this pic!

Double Shot!

Rope Swings.  

Noah made some sand art.  

Very cool!

Log flume! Look how Eli is hiding behind Margot.  

Pretty sunset that night.  

Another pic of Ariel came in.  She's in the background talking to boys!
