Cape May, New Jersey

Oh, Catnapper!!!! That is so unbelievably GRAND that you all will be there!!! With such a brand new 'bun', you will want to only use cloth or obstructive devices, and no sunscreen!!! So, I would buy two cheap old tote umbrellas- the pocket sized ones, and let them be the sun shield. Also, most of those baby seats (pumpkin seats) have a half closeable cover thingy.

This is great!!! I cannot wait.

We went shopping at Babies R Us today and spied some cool choices for beach cover. all the way from a $4 carrier or pack & play net all the way up to a $20 self-contained shade thinge (see here )

We have to decide just how long we'll spend on the beach -- I myself do NOT like the beach. An hour is typically my limit before I get tired of bugs, sand, and feeling like I'm a baked lobster (I have a strong fear of getting skin cancer like my grandmom battled her whole life. Even if I use screen, I feel like my skin cells are mutating by the second.... yes, I'm a pasty white girl! ) So, based on how long we will realisitcally spend on the beach befor we decide which baby screening option to take.

Now... to find a reasonably priced hotel for all of us!

Just knocking this up a bit to see who else may be there this Sunday. I'm driving down about 4 a.m. Sat. morning (to beat the horrible, horrible traffic across the Bay Bridge to the shore). I'll find a cheap-o hotel/motel along the highway to Lewis DE and be meeting Joh and Jonah on Sunday in Cape May. Anyone else figure it out? We will need to decide where and when to meet. JenL & Charlie? I would love to see you guys again
