Cape May
We left Washington DC Tuesday morning and drove to Cape May which is on the Jersey Coast. This coastal town is quite different to other places along this coast. Every building has been restored to original condition. There is a cafe called Zoe's which I had read about online so we went there for breakfast the next day. We stayed for one night only and left Wednesday morning to drive to New York ...
Night 5: Philly Shore
... to house a rainbow of races and ethnicities. The streets are crowded and built for the 18th century. The buildings are... lived in, but not decomposing.

Dalton Flies in the Sky Over Ocean City
Today I went parasailing. It was really fun and high. I was a little scared in the beginning, but I am glad that I did it! I was able to see the whole island. After I went back to the condo, ate, and relaxed. Then we drove to Atlantic City. I went through a casino for the very first time. I bought myself a new and really cool Atlanta Braves ...
