Girls' Day at Cape May

I don't know what it is, but there is something about being at the beach that makes you feel as though life was never any other way. Never anything other than warm and calm, with nothing to worry about except when to reapply your sunblock and keeping your diet coke on ice. Even if it was only for a day, what a wonderful escape it was, and how wonderful it is to have friends willing to rally around an idea, take days off work, get babysitters for the kids, and make the day happen. We enjoyed a beautiful sunrise on the drive there, many warm hours on the sand, and yours truly even faced my fear of water and went in to my shoulders! We saw the Cape May lighthouse, fought for parking, explored the beautifully colored town and had dinner at the Ugly Mug before heading back and the quality conversation flowed the entire way back. Thank you, Ashleigh, Jana, and Lesa, for the gift of your friendship.
