My Week in Review/Weekly Wrap-Up/THMJ

This is a bit late going up this week, as checkout time was early on Saturday and we were out and about on Friday evening enjoying all that we could before packing up.

When you have a view like this everyday (in this photo I was reading my Kindle book), it is hard to want to go home:

On Monday, we celebrated Kiddo #2's birthday.  I wrote a post all about him and shared lots of photos here.  It was a fun day as we were on the beach, in the pool, on the boardwalk and in the arcade.

On Tuesday, we went on the amusements and in the evening, did some pier fishing:

Wednesday had us at the Cape May County Zoo.  For those of you who never visited, I couldn't recommend it more.  First of all, it is free.  Yes, free.  They just ask for a free will donation.  It is a beautiful zoo, set on hundreds of acres.  There are actually boardwalks that go over many of the animal enclosures so you get not only a unique perspective of the animals in their habitats, but it provides a natural, open, outdoors type of feel.  Just lovely.

Some of the highlights of the zoo included seeing rare white deer and the new baby giraffe.

On Wednesday, the guys did some beach fishing while Kiddo #4 and I went on the boards, went on some rides (well, she did, lol) and came home with some yummy snacks (funnel cake, etc.)  :-)

Early on Thursday, we were at one pier for their "3 ticket Thursday" amusement ride special.  After swimming and a BBQ dinner, we headed out on the boards to the other pier and I finally got my parrot picture!  I so wanted to hold the Blue and Gold Macaw that likes to be cradled like a baby!  :-)

On Friday afternoon, we rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed an afternoon of fishing, crabbing and sunshine.

The evening ended with a round of miniature golf and a walk to the end of the boardwalk.

And home we went the next morning.  Lots of great memories!  :-)
