Some people very close to my heart and myself will be spending two weeks 'at the shore' this July. We are renting a house, and I wonder if there is anyone close by that we can connect with? Cape May is about 1 hour from Atlantic City, and way far out on the point of New Jersey.
I live an hour away from Cape May and Atlantic City. I REALLY hope you guys have a wonderful time! Those are beautiful and great places! :D
Cape May NJ is a 4 hour drive for us, but we used to love to vacation in nearby Wildwood. I will do the very best that I can to make the trip just get me the dates. Charlie and my "weekend" is Sunday and Monday, so it will probably be one of those days. Of course, if you had an inkling to stop by MY house on your way to or from you coul meet the whole crew. ;)
Oooo.... let me know which day. I work every Saturday but if its a Sunday I would love to "swing by" and meet you!
I am about 1 1/2 hrs. from Cape May and am well acquainted with the Jersey shore :) but actually Ocean City is my hangout. :) Since I am expecting grandson #2 on or around June 24th I am going to be spending a lot of this summer getting to know him and that means lots of trips to Maryland. :)
Hope to see lots of pictures posted from this event though!
Cape May is only 2 1/2 hrs from me. I looove Cape May. The ferry boat from Delaware State Park (where the dogs & I camp a lot) is a hop, skip and a jump away. This is loverly Johanna. What a quaint, quiet (even in summer) town Cape May is. You and Jonah will love it! I'm IN!! :) Thanks for the "heads up" Jen, I may have missed this ;)
Lillycat is a Jersey Gal, and this is her place to go. She has been 4 or 5 times, I think. I have been one other time, and really loved it. Cape May is MY kind of place-slow, slow and slow!
It will be the second and third week of July, beginning that Saturday, the 8th, through the 22, I think. I don't have the calendar in my bed..he he he. BUT, it is the 2 and 3rd week. I would be open to anytime, any day!!!!!
Jen, I will ask the pilot about a special layover in PA. Not holding out much luck, but, you never know!!
We will make it on a Sunday! So, that means either the 9th, or the 16th.....either one better than the other folks? I will wait until the last moment to spring this on Lillycat..he he he. And, Jonah! :p
Either Sunday for me. And as for the PA layover ( ;) ) make it on your way BACK home. After all, if you are leaving the shore on Saturday (22nd) you have the whole rest of the weekend to make it back home again. hee hee.
One day I was in cape may down at the ferry terminal and I saw three abandoned kittens. People were looking at them but noone took them. I was only passing through and didnt live there so I couldnt take them.I often wonder what happened to them and how someone could be so cruel to abandon these kittens but a lot of people were looking at them so maybe someone gave them a good home.
Last year I was also on holidays - this time in ireland - and I saw a black kitten that looked lost but well cared for. He was wondering around a parking lot. Its difficult to know what to do as if I take the kitten it might be owned and if you leave it he could be lost and could get run over. Theres isnt really places to leave abandoned cats in ireland that i know off. I lived 100 miles or more away from there so no use takign the kitten ! I hope the cape may kitties did get a home and maybe you will see them wondering around as adult cats.
I will be down there later this month.
Lbaker, that ferry boat sounds like a good idea since we will be going from DC and Baltimore over to South Jersey.
I will go start another thread about my trip, maybe I can run into a few Pet Talkers in my travels. :)
I sent you a private message thingy but you warned me your box was probably filled. I will try to connect with the email address you gave me but right now I am sick and sore from some oral surgery this morning :( I am leaving tomorrow for a business trip to LA for a week but have some really good suggestions about "what not to miss" during your few days in DC - including MEETING WITH ME, AND MAYBE EMILY-THE-SPOILED!! We both work in DC and live nearby. How old are your children? I love my city and hope you will leave feeling the same :cool: By the way, the ferry boat to South NJ really won't work from Baltimore, but there are alternatives. Not to worry ;)
Laurie, it looks like I will catch up with you next week when you come back from your trip.
I answered your questions in the DC thread that I started.
I found the website for the Ferry Boat and it is pretty expensive and looks like it takes about 1 hr and 20 minutes.
It says you also have to make a reservation at least a day in advance.
We are still deciding which route to take over to southern NJ so if you have any helpful advice on that I would like to hear it.
I hope you are feeling better and that your trip to LA went well. :)
I live about 4 hours and 15 minutes away, but would LOVE to meet new people. Let me know when the event is to take place, and I'll see if I can get the time off at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Hello. I will be in Cape May from July 8th-15th (Saturday to Saturday). It will just be Jonah and I, no Lillycat. :(
I would be interested in a Sunday July 9th gathering, if anyone is interested!!
