Wild for Cape May, Part 2

We drove over to Cape May on the second day and OMG, I loved it and I'm so sure my mom would love it too. The contrast of Cape May to the wildness of Wildwood is glaring.

It's calmer, civilized (Neruda's word-Wildwood is chaotic), lovely (my word), romantic, classic and the houses and inns were gorgeous.

A gorgeous beach town

I still don't see why people have to take dozens of pictures of sunsets. One is enough.

After the beach, we went to their shopping district and then it wasn't too long when I started complaining about being hungry. Off we went to the Boathouse Restaurant in Wildwood where I already know what I was going to order, Maryland crab cakes and breaded Jersey scallops. Awesome I tell you! Neruda ordered an equally calorie-packed pasta with jumbo shrimps, scallops and clams.

There's nothing else interesting to tell after that except for our lunch today on our way home. We found The Crab Trap by accident because I wouldn't stop whining that I was hungry. I wanted seafood again and I didn't want any fastfood poison. That's where the GPS pointed us to. Garmin saved the day.

Wild for Cape May, Part 1

Wildwood in the morning

Neruda and I just came from Wildwood and Cape May, New Jersey.

There are two types of people in Wildwood. People who willingly stay in Wildwood for the "fun" atmosphere on the Boardwalk and semi-oldies like us who would like to stay in Cape May but are too poor to book two nights in a B & B right in front of the Atlantic Ocean at the southernmost part of New Jersey.

I am not really high maintenance but can you imagine how nervous I was as we were driving around looking for our inn/motel/resort? And our room... all I can say is that we overpaid for it and it was the cheapest motel I could find on the dates we wanted. It's so not worth $203 for 2 nights.
