Marquis De Lafayette Hotel Cape May

... the storm clouds had cleared and the sun, sand and waves couldn't have made for a better afternoon. We layed on the rocks of a jetty, being sure not to cross the sign which read, "DANGER. KEEP OFF JETTY"<br><br>Not so careful to read the sign was an older couple who "just wanted to get a close picture of the rocks and water." We watched this man and woman climb on the rocks and beyond the sign. Scoffing them as they went ...

I've been wanting to visit the European Christmas Markets for several years now, but my husband was reluctant - he's not a fan of the cold! But this year he relented. I'm approaching one of those "milestone" birthdays, and frankly, I would rather travel than have a party, so this year we are going!<br><br>We got brochures in the mail from a number of different companies featuring Christmas Time Cruises. I also ...

Day 3 Wednesday, 2nd September 2009<br> <br>Breakfast again at the comfort in and then checkout about $160 US for two nights including Breakfast we enjoyed our stay.<br> <br>We then set off in search of the pentagon but with no address only knowing it was behind the cemetery. Our GPS does not having any points of interest installed so all we could do was drive vaguely in that direction and hope for the best well of course we got lost but by chance came ...

... some good color. We went to this cute Italian restaurant that night called Cucina Rosa. Both mom and I had this amazing Mediterranean shrimp dish. Tons of garlic though, let's just say we could have kept any vampires in a 5 mile radius at bay that night. We then did some souveneir shopping and got some ice cream.<br><br>Tuesday (my birthday) it rained so we head over on ...

... then 9.5kts. We were humming. The ETA started pulling in and what had showed an arrival at 8pm not looked like 5pm....looking good.<br><br>I was ready to make the turn into the Cape May canal but was held up by a very large ferry about ready to leave the narrow channel. I hail the cap on the radio and hear...."small trawler, I would stand off....we both cant make it". OK, he wins. <br><br>By 1800 we are tied up at the ...

... have been renovated and restored, with all their elaborate details highlighted by multi-candy-colour paintwork and their gardens beautifully planted with flowers in the summer. It all looks really pretty and appealing and its now back to being a very upmarket vacation resort. <br><br>The house we are renting isn't on the beach and it isn't one of the gorgeous gingerbread Victorians, (although who ever decorated it went mad with pink and roses - but mostly on ...

... why?) It may be a small amount per ticket but think about the tens of thousand of tickets issued in a single season in such a popular tourist community... it will add up. Save your cash to treat your family to something fun. Remember it's the little victories that make life worthwhile. If you're thinking of just not paying it then think again. They have you over a barrel. After 30 days delinquent they will issue a bench warrent for your arrest in ...

Leah came down to meet me and Andy in Rehoboth Beach, DE before packing up the car and hitting the road. Since the weather was so nice, we decided to take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to enjoy the scenery that surrounds it. Somewhere along the way (maybe 3 hours into the 16 hr car ride, the heat stopped working. I later was told by a mechanic that I was at the boiling/freezing point for my radiator fluid or something...makes sense now). Our ride down wasn't ...

Labor Day. Three Day Weekend. NEW JERSEY SHORE. Woohoo! My parents drove down from Northern Jersey. Silke and I drove up from Washington, DC. The weather was perfect. It was a nice chance to relax in the sun and surf.

... entire day, from 1030am until 630pm, chilling on the Jersey shore. It was SO nice that I recommend that everyone take just one day outta your busy schedules to go lie on the sand, swim in the surf and just enjoy life. Just don't forget the sunscreen! (I have shed my yellowness for a crazy-dark brown). I swam, learned to bodysurf (if only I had my board!), napped and got in a little reading for the whole freakin day. My mind and body went ...
