Oh, yes. We needed this.
My cup overflows…
One… Two… Three… JUMP!!!
Gracie was brave enough to tackle the ropes course on vacation – she was not even slightly scared of the ziplines!
Can I go back now? Pretty please???
You laugh. But this place is amazing. We’ve been to Mykonos, Crete, Santorini, Nafplio, Corinth and Kusadasi, Turkey (Ephesus). I’ve seen more beauty than I ever thought possible! I promise when I get home I will go through the thousands of pictures (literally) and pick out some fabulous ones for you.

This year we did a little something different…
We experienced a New York Thanksgiving. Instead of getting up early to cook the turkey, we got up early to watch a parade.
Instead of watching a movie, we saw a show.
Instead of shopping on Black Friday, we took a little boat ride.
So much to share! Stay tuned…
Just when we were sad that our last day at the beach got rained out… we noticed not everyone was stuck inside the hotel. A pod of at least 20 dolphins was having a grand old time frolicking in the waves outside the hotel.
Because when you’re at the top of a mountain in Switzerland and you see a roped off area with a sign like this…
you should OF COURSE jump over the sign and try to climb the mountain without ropes while your co-worker takes a picture of it.
And we wonder where Colin gets it from.

One of the highlights of the Mom Blogger weekend in Cape May was getting to see Beach Plum Farm. Beach Plum Farm is owned by the Cape Resort group and provides their Cape May restaurants with fresh produce. Love. Love. LOVE. I am such a Localvore, this commitment to the Farm-to-Table concept just won me over completely. I so admire their commitment to this – I wish more restaurants were! So, instead of a wordless wednesday, here are a few of my favorite pictures of the weekend.
Planted with summer crops like blueberries, asparagus, tomatoes and strawberries, along with a large perennial herb garden, the certified organic farm already supplies Cape Resorts Group’s restaurants with close to their 50% of seasonal produce. The Ebbitt Room’s chef, Lucas Manteca, looks forward to expanding with chickens and pigs next year.
Due to guests’ enthusiasm for the farm, organized bike tours are offered twice weekly in addition to the picnics, which hotel guests can reserve through the concierge for groups of six or more.

Speaking of lunch… this meal… this meal… (Hang on. Let me close my eyes and imagine I’m back there….) One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. In my top 10 for sure. Chef Lucas turned some fresh produce from the farm into a feast.
isn't it gorgeous?
oh, yum. words cannot describe....
