When I win the Powerball, I will buy this house.
Since I am here and not there, I did not win the Powerball Saturday.

| Purple trim, plenty of parking, lovely landscape, fenced in yard for the dogs... AND a pink hammock on the porch. |

I prefer shoremet to gourmet any day: awesome stromboli on a paper plate, wine in a plastic glass, eaten at a plastic table on a deck overlooking the ocean with my family.
+
Family field trip to the life boat
+
A gorgeous sunset
+
A stroll into town: shops, Kohr Bros ice cream, salt water taffy, gas lights
+
Checking out the lighthouse at night, a low hanging blood red moon viewed over the ocean,
stargazing on the beach, and alien discussions

Kim Schultz spotty burn for me, and allover shrimpiness for MFD = need more sunscreen

Beautiful beach day #2

A school of fish very close to shore and dolphins a little further out

Dinner for 11 at the Lobster House
 |
| Damn backlight |

Grandmom loved looking out at all the boats and keeping an eye on the
shark contest at the marina during dinner
+
Gorgeous Sunset #2
+
Drinks and music on the deck. And UFOs...at least for those of us who were drinking the red wine.
 |
| There's a rainbow in my cup. And a UFO in the sky. |
+
Ambled down to The Rusty Nail with Stephen & MFD...
We saw the worst band in the history of bands.
They sang Jessie's Girl as a ballad. Poorly.
+
Cone shenanigans in jorts.
 |
| I put this cone at the door of my aunt & uncle's room then laughed like a loon for 10 minutes. |
+
Cousin breakfast
+
I am a Cape May convert - I've been to Cape May many times, but this is the first time I've stayed there, and I loved it. Gorgeous gardens, houses with amazing detail, quiet, nice beaches, good restaurants and shopping. More please.
+
Beautiful beach day #3 - I call this one Relentless Sun.
+
A four hour nap at home after being enthusiastically greeted by my Gus and Geege
+
Admiring the new plant MFD picked up at Lowe's on Sunday afternoon
+
Chinese food feast, Trading Places, and Mad Men

I had a fabulous weekend celebrating my Grandmom and watching her have such a lovely time. Gorgeous weather, family, good food, relaxation, drinks, sunsets...just a fabulous time. Thank you Carol and Dad for organizing a wonderful trip.

Happy Birthday Grandma! I love Cape May - it's now my favorite shore place. Great Blog!

Beautiful weekend to celebrate 80 yrs of Grandmom's life.
ReplyDeleteNothing better for a mom than having all her chickens with her.
love your Momma
I am a long-since Cape May convert! That place never gets old. (And I have a few houses picked out too for when I win the lottery. Maybe we'll be neighbors!
