Visiting My College Roommate Lorie & her husband Frank in Cape May, NJ

"In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." -- Khalil Gibran

Night out enjoying a lovely meal

We kicked off our trip with a fun bike ride around town. We checked out all the cool spots, like the oldest tree, the lighthouse, a WWII bunker, a state park, and a winery. It was a great way to learn and have some laughs!

On our second day, we went to WildWood. Jack spent time there as a pre-teen with his mom, siblings, and grandparents. Apparently, my parents celebrated their honeymoon there too!

We had a fabulous time with old friends creating new memories, while camping at the US Coast Guard Cape May RV Park and bicycling back and forth to visit with Lorie & Frank, and their adorable doggie - Bella.
