New Jersey

Cape May, New Jersey is a much bigger town than we have been experiencing, and it is a popular vacation spot. It is actually on the Jersey Shore, but nothing like what you see on MTV, no Snookie sightings! We didn't see much of town, but what we did see was lots of traffic and people and sport fish boats.

This is just one of many marinas filled with sport fish boats

We traveled 60 miles racing to beat a storm. Thankfully we only had a bit of rain and were able to keep out of the storms path.

We have been in small town after small town for months now (Annapolis was the largest town in months), and we have loved it! Or have we just gotten used to the slower pace, the friendlier townsfolk and the history of each of these towns?

There are many positives to larger towns, one being variety of good food, which is a huge bonus for us. We were within walking distance to dining and shopping. Right outside the parking lot to the marina stands The Lobster House, a conglomerate of 5 different offerings of food from a seafood market to an old supper club restaurant. Needless to say, Ben and I ate our way through The Lobster House.

On our walk into town, we stumbled upon a festival and a Hops one to boot!! Fun times listening to live music, people watching, sampling the variety of hops, and of course eating!!

I'm still not sure if I can say I love bigger towns, but I can say I really like stopping in these bigger towns and we are taking advantage of all they offer!

Our gloomy looking day, it was foggy and misty.

The locals recommended Lucky Bones, it did not disappoint. The mussels were awesome and my pizza was very good...thin, crispy, crust. 

Our walk in town...

This town has a lot of offerings, this was half of it 

Hops festival! 

Bacon and beer...perfect combination.
