Back from Wildwood!

It wasn't too wild down in the Wildwoods. Besides the incredible storm we experienced while eating our hazelnut cheesecake slice in Cape May, catching about 100 waves, and driving between two ends of a double rainbow (ya, it went right over the bridge) it was a pretty relaxed 4-day vacation.   It was my first time using the panoramic setting on my phone and it was perfect timing! Check out the lightning bolt.

Don't let the pictures fool you; the weather couldn't have been nicer.  Daimon and I spent a few days at a beach condo with my cousin and aunt, and we stick to the traditions but try to experience it differently each time. We usually cruise around listening to the Zombies, looking at the bright colored lights from the amusement park area late at night. This year we were able to see a meteor shower on the beach, two nights in a row! It was the most incredible show; I never saw so many in one period of time. Both my cousin and I like time lapse photography, and we had all the right equipment, but no tripod...  We worked with what we had.

We tend to vacation "on the cheap" but somehow I did end up coming home with a few souvenirs. Daimon picked up a beautiful green hardtop suitcase at a vintage store for me! I can't wait to turn it into a face painting station.  I bought him a peanut butter sundae from Duffer's.

Every morning I picked through fiber on the porch while watching the dolphins with my aunt. It was sooooooo relaxing and memorable. I can't wait to wash and dye this stuff lavender!

Most of my turquoise blue washed away in that comfortably warm, salty ocean but it truly is one of the most beautiful beaches.  The only difficult thing is to enjoy the beach without having a constant urge for ice cream. We all need to go on a sugar diet for a few days.
