On the Way to Cape May

Posted on July 6, 2013 by

Our family vacation this year was in Cape May. We started out the week with our cousin’s wedding and a family BBQ. Over the weekend, the boys headed to the beach at the bay. It was the first time that Jimmy was at the water’s edge. At first he was a bit timid, but once he saw Mommy in the water, he was eager to venture to the gentle waves of the bay. Johnny chilled in his special beach tent.

Later in the week, we went to the Cape May Zoo with Pop. We also went to a museum of historic NJ buildings. Jimmy was very happy exploring the outdoors! Jimmy headed to the North Cape May Fireworks Show. We ended the week with a family beach day, where Jimmy played in the sand and learned how to make a sand castle.

Over the week, we think that Johnny had a growth spurt! As of the 4th of July, Johnny is now 4 months old and very alert. He enjoys his hopper and will kick away to any music that is playing.

At the Beach

Although we didn’t make a day out of the beach, Jimmy was able to check out to the sand and eat dinner on the beach. Sand does have an interesting texture and Jimmy definitely seemed intrigued.

Road trip… to Florida!

It was a long drive, but both Jimmy and Dunder were amazing travelers — they actually slept the entire way down 95. In fact, Jimmy probably fusses more between home and West Chester than he did on the 20 hour adventure south.

It was a wonderful experience to see our grandparents meeting their great-grandson. Jimmy was all smiles as Grandpa introduced the two parakeets to him and Grandma played peek-a-boo. Grandpa took Jimmy to the zoo, where he was inches away from both a giraffe and a snake.

Jimmy also met his cousins, along with Uncle Ralph and Aunt Tammy. Jimmy spent several days wadding and splashing in the pool. He probably thought he was in a huge bathtub. Dunder didn’t miss a beat and jumped right in the pool to show Jimmy that he can swim too!

A trip to Florida wouldn’t be complete without a trip to RonJon’s where he picked out his first pair of shoes — Tom’s!
