Camping down the shore

Last weekend the 3 of us made our way to Cape May, NJ, the southern tip of the Jersey shore. The weather was beautiful, the ocean was freezing, and the night was perfect for sleeping in a tent.


This is the famous lighthouse.

Here's Jacob standing on the picnic table on our campsite, and the RV parked at the campsite behind us. Lake Laurie campground is a huge place just outside of downtown Cape May where people park their RV's for what I can only imagine is the whole summer. We looked kind of silly in our little tent, with our little car, and no living room, bbq, or huge containers of junk food. But we made do. We walked to the lake on the campgrounds once, which reminded me of the ponds at Kingswood camp (not good, for those of you unfamiliar). There was a pool on the grounds, too, but we ran out of time to check it out. I never found out what "sparkles" though:

OMG, Jacob looks so grown up and so adorable in that first picture. Glad you had a nice camping trip. Christopher was bitten by mosquitos terribly in Chincoteague. Hope we can all get together soon. Kath
