Thank You Cape May I Have Another?

All work and no play is definitely not something that’s recommended. Every now and again, it’s good to relax and take a well-deserved vacation. For our 3rd wedding anniversary (yes, it’s been 3 years already!), we decided to take a trip to the southern most point of New Jersey. We’ve only heard good things about Cape May, but never really had a good chance to go (and because it’s a three hour drive). For our anniversary trip this year, we decided to make the trek so that Tiger could finally play in the beach.

First thing’s first…we needed to book a place to stay. Seeing that Cape May and it’s properties are all pretty old, we decided not to make reservations at a B&B (fearing the worst), but rather opted to go with the Congress Hall hotel which was built in the early 1800s (yes, it’s that old). The hotel was what you’d expect from an older place, but the hotel grounds and prime location to the beach couldn’t be beat.

Tiger’s first chance to really play on the beach. He was noticeably nervous at first, but he eventually got the hang of it

Tiger had so much fun, I’m not even sure he noticed his legs were buried in the sand

You can’t ask for much more than a clean and empty beach

Nothing says vacation like ordering room service and watching the Niners destroy the Jets!

Even living in California for as long as we’ve lived there, how many times could we say we’ve watched the sunrise from the beach? This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip

Like every great vacation, there comes a time when you have to fill-up the gas tank, drive home, do laundry, and get ready for the next day at work.

Lucky for us, Atlantic City was on the way back!!!
