Cape May

Having never been to Cape May, we decided to have a little weekend get-away there (off season) before prices went up.

Some shops and restaurants were not yet open but many were.

Live music at Happy Hour

Gil lounging in room

Lighthouse

Took Gil to the state park, but alas, no pets allowed except in parking lot.

World War II bunker 

After taking Gil back to room, we returned and explored the area.

Geese blocking the path. We turned around and went a different route.

Community Day at the Coast Guard Base.

Sunset Beach

The quaint little hotel we stayed in. Very nice.

Party!

Went of my pre-diabetic diet and had some pancakes and potatoes. Yum!

Tired boy on the way home.

4 Leaf Clover

Found the first four leaf clover of the season on a walk with Gil.

Longwood Gardens

Took a trip to Longwood Gardens yesterday. It started as a farm in 1700. After a while the brothers began planting trees. Later their heirs were not interested in keeping it up and the trees were about to be cut for timber in 1906. The land was bought by Pierre Dupont primarily to preserve the trees, but he later decided to make it into a place that he could entertain his friends.
The day was predicted to be rainy and overcast but the sun came out on our way there and we had a fantastic day out!
