The Hotel Alcott Cape May

... can come with help for their circumstance, ultimately offering Christ, but after meeting them where they are. <br><br>The day concluded less dramatically. We drove to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3D" (great movie with developed characters and clear moral lessons while remaining lighthearted and funny) and then onto our Red Carpet Inn where I sit now writing this blog. We are one of two guests at the motel this night. Awkward.

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 ...

... took us thru nice open farmland growing corn and some legumes Cath thinks.<br>We had to cross over Chesapeake Bay via a huge bridge that I think is 5 miles over water and as high if not higher than our gateway.<br> <br>somewhere along this route we stopped for Lunch at Handee&#8217;s Broiled Burgers we entered and the lady that served us I think was dressing up for Halloween earlier either that or she had forgot to put the full set of teeth in as all ...

... ferry to Delaware where we explored the town of Lewes and hit the outlets. We came back for a late birthday dinner at the Peter Shields Inn. Good food and a fantastic view of the ocean from our table.<br><br>Wednesday was already our last day. So we hit the beach all day and then jumped in our cars and left. All in all it was a perfect little relaxing beach get a way.

... ship. Still there are barges and sometimes several. I read a magazine story of a family on a 60 foot wooden sailing vessel foolish enough to transit it at night. They missed seeing a barge and the boat sunk in the canal. Luckily there was no loss of life. Id prefer to make my passage in full day light thank you.<br><br>The canal transit went well any by the time we got near the eastern entrance, we were hitting speeds ...

Monday morning we said our goodbyes to Karen and Allen and set off across country to Cape May, at the southern tip of New Jersey, where we were meeting up with more friends - Ken from Boston and Diana from Cape Cod.<br><br>Despite the big distance Ken and Diana have to travel, we all arrived within 15 mins of each other at the little house we are renting -so we open a bottle of wine to celebrate before heading to the local supermarket to stock up on ingredients ...

... state. It won't matter if you never set foot in that state again because the next time you have to renew you insurrance or drivers licence it will pop-up that there is an outstanding warrent in your name and you will be forced to deal with it then and the fines will be much greater at that point... which would be just fine with towns like Dewey Beach. Don't do it... Don't give them the satisfaction... It's not worth the intestinal distress let alone ...

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.

Am using someone's very weak wireless signal while at this hotel so not sure if I can upload any photos. Staying in an older (much) hotel in Downtown Manhattan (17th St). Apparently it was used for the Woody Allen movie Murder in Manhattan. The lift actually has doors with doorknobs outside the lift door. Have walked across Brooklyn Bridge, been on the Staten Island ferry, seen the Police Museum, been to Times Square, checked out the queue at ...
