We just got home a little while ago from the ward going away party (pictures to come) that we went to a few hours after returning home from our Cape May getaway.

Mom arrived on Thursday afternoon and spent 2 nights with the kids while we took a graduation trip to Cape May located at the southern tip of New Jersey.

I think it might have been our best vacation ever. It was s0 beautiful and so relaxing! It was all that a perfect getaway vacation should be.

We stayed at this quaint little bed and breakfast:
Staying in a B&B is something we will definitely do again. It was so charming
and with breakfast that looked like this:
We sat on the beach and did a lot of this:

We climbed the 199 steps to the top of this lighthouse and back down again (all in 10 minutes because it was closing time):

Our legs are still soar!

We got up early one morning and rode bikes along the boardwalk.

The other morning we slept in.

I don't remember the last time we were both able to sleep in. It was wonderful.

We really needed this trip. It's been a long journey (this graduation thing, I mean) and it was nice to take a relaxing break from everything else we have going on, enjoy being together, and celebrate the fact that Matt is finished with school!
And I wasn't worried for a minute about the kids, all of whom had a fantastic time with Grandma!

Wow, a B&B sounds really good. I miss the beach! So great that your mom as able to come out and watch the kids. I can't wait to see pics from Matt's Graduation. You leave in a week right??
Just stopped in on your blog, Mary. What an exciting life you have! What a great family!! I am completely jealous of your getaway, and I am determined to find something like that, someday, for Brent and myself. Inspiring!
