Cape May Weekend

Around the campfire, making ice cream:

P.D.A. at the Lighthouse:

Last weekend was awesome! Some friends suggested we get a group together to spend the weekend in Cape May. We all rented cabins and pretty much spent most of the time at the beach. Friday night we got there, went straight to the beach, then unpacked, and started dinner. YUM! Once it got dark, we all convened at the campfire and roasted mallows for s'mores and...would you believe it... Starbursts. (They are not too bad roasted, actually.)

The next morning, we went to the zoo (which was free and amazing,) then straight to the beach; there we stayed until late afternoon. What kept us entertained for so long? Burying Siena in sand, beachcombing, and boogieboarding. It was too relaxing for words. No pictures, even.

That night we got stuff to make homemade ice cream in Ziplock bags (after a long trip to Home Depot for rock salt,) and had fun doing that around the campfire. Despite Qiana tumbling out of the lower bunk, I think the girls really liked sharing a bed while we were there.

The next day, we left Cape May and started for home. On the way back, we visited the largest annual garden in the United States, Leaming's Run Gardens. It was hot and humid, but beautiful. It was another wonderful trip before we leave the East Coast....

(I'm still messing around with Photoshop Actions... don't mind the in-continuity of the pictures. Most of these are running on a "Seventies" theme.)

Hot and Humid!


Siena really took this picture all by herself. She was struggling to even keep a good grip on the camera, let alone trying to find the button to push. It is amazing that it actually turned out!

We came back to a rainy Philadelphia at 95 degrees Fahrenheit!
