If you saw my post on Sunday, you know that Wesley, Chris and I all headed down this past weekend to one of our favorite get-aways. This get-away is at Wildwood Crest, NJ...smack between the Wildwood of boardwalk fame and Cape May, Nj. The 'apartment' we stay in is co-owned by Chris' parents and another family who they are close with.  During the summer they rent the unit out to families vacationing, and so during the summer season it's pretty much always in use.  During the off-season it's usually up for grabs. Both Chris and I find the off season to be much more appealing as, while you can't really swim (unless you like that polar bear type swimming!), you pretty much have the place to yourself. I took pictures of the unit this go around to show, because I really just LOVE it. Donna, Chris mother, has a talent in interior design as well as dentistry! lol When you first walk in you see the living area straight ahead. To the further right is a...

So far Momma, Poppa and I are having lots of fun on our mini-vacation! We got down here on Friday afternoon. It actually wasn't a very nice day at all when we got down here, it was all crazy rainy and windy and I did a lot of sitting in front of the sliding glass door and chewing. Since yesterday was so gloomy and wet, I guess the weather felt bad and decided to make up for it with today's weather: bright, beautiful, sunny and clear-skyed! We did a little walk on the beach, but only a little one. Since it was so nice out today there were LOTS of people to bark at  also out enjoying the beach, and I would not stop barking at EVERYTHING and NOTHING  we didn't want to disturb them so we cut our walk short and decided to go walking again in the early evening. Before we went in again there was a short period of time where my pawrents 'dropped' my leash...and then let me off for a little completely! Here are some pictures Momma and Poppa took during that time....

The day before had been all windy and grey, with a craaazy number of people on the beach. Our last day there, Sunday, was gorgeous! Mom wanted to go over into Cape May to see the lighthouse, and so we off we went! We got there and, wow! The beach by the condo may have been pretty empty, but here at the Cape May lighthouse there were lots of people! It looked like it was some sort of event, lots of people with lots of big, made-mom-jealous cameras. Apparently there's a bird and wildlife refuge right there next to the beach, which is what mom thinks the even had to do with. We stayed away from the people and went right out to the beach area and began walking.      There were a few places up the beach from the water were there were patches of tall grass. It was kinda cool.   And then there was this big thing: ..whoa.     Keep Off? Make me!   Mom says it's called a bunker and it was built back during something she call...

In my last post I covered just the verrrrrry first day we arrived, I still have two whole more days to talk about and show off! The next morning mom and my poppa woke up early (both are early birds!) and they say the sunrise was Beautiful! Between you and me? I didn't much care, there was sand to play with! We didn't stay out long, it was a bit chilly and we were all hungry for breakfast! The next time we went out it was very windy and no at all sunshine-y like it was the day before. Even though it was kind of icky out, mom and poppa decided we would still take a good long walk on the beach together. When we got out there, we discovered that despite the day the beach was very active! Since it was windy out, there were many people out there riding on these cart looking things, being pulled by what my mom said was a large kite. Here's a picture of one that mom took as it zipped by! There were also people riding by in what mom called 'sail sand boats'...
