t_cape_may_new_jersey_ja09As a former South Jersey resident and now living in northern Baltimore County most of my life, the shore[s] of choice for me has always been OCNJ, Avalon or Cape May. Like you, I dream of relocating to Cape May some day!

I only went to Cape May once, in 1981. You’ve made me want to get back soon!

Thank you, Lisa, for taking me back to a place I loved years ago when I used to go to Cape May on the Lewes Ferry. As I swelter in South Carolina, I can almost feel those Cape May breezes and see the breathtaking architecture.

Oh, bliss! I have never been, but after reading your description I am going. And in this most historic of years. Thank you for painting such a magical picture—as well as adding earthbound particulars.
