Perfect Cape May 7-11-09
















If there is a more perfect town in America, I have not seen it. Cape May is filled with so many of our favorite things:

a 2 mile beach with a promenade and plenty of restrooms; a brick-paved pedestrian Town Mall with lots of one-of-a-kind shops and outdoor cafes; a historic district filled with Victorian “Painted Lady” homes, some converted to B&Bs(Angel of the Sea) and a house museum (Physick House); miles of bike trails; gazebos and parks everywhere; great seafood at the Lobster House; Cape May Lighthouse; one of the best bird sanctuaries on the east coast; trolley tours; spectacular hydrangeas all over Cape May; and one of the best marinas, Utsch’s ($2 per foot with the 7th night free plus a gift bag of wine and biscotti).

Throw in ideal temperatures of sunny 75 degrees and low humidity and a chance to visit with my family makes Cape May just perfect for us. There is even an Urgent Care that I could walk to from the marina to get treatment for a sinus infection that would not let go.
