And just to prove that we did actually *see* the ocean...


It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day. Perfect for walking along the boardwalk. Sunny, breezy, not too hot. We had every intention of actually walking out to the ocean, but... well, the jersey beaches are just way too long. And Jack's not too fond of the sand.

We played some fun games and Jack won a few prizes! Here he is picking out his ducks in the duck game - he won a little duck that he is just in love with!

And right before leaving Wildood, we all enjoyed some delicious soft serve chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Mmmmm... it was SO good! (I won that crazy blue thing out of a grabby machine!)

And Jack's *favorite* thing of the day... We decided to take the "scenic" route home and took the Cape May Ferry across to Delaware and drove home that way. It certainly didn't save us any time (added about 2 hours to our travel time) and it definitely didn't save us any money (instead of a $3 bridge toll, we spent $40 on the ferry ticket!), but it was WELL worth it!

While waiting for the ferry, we all played on a playground at the terminal - Jack loved that! Jack wasn't able to fully appreciate the fact that we were able to actually drive our car onto the boat, but he DID appreciate the beautiful views we were able to take in up on the top deck. He was perfectly happy just staring at the water the whole time. And it was a really nice break from sitting in the car all afternoon.

For some reason, it won't let me put any more pictures up right now, so hopefully it will let me share the ferry pictures later.
