Nini's News: Our Trip to Delaware, ETC.

Josh was going to be in Delaware and asked if we could meet him up there. Steve couldn't go because of work, so I went by myself to visit him. We had a great time. Our trip began in the Philadelphia airport. I flew in Wednesday at 9:30a.m., and Josh was supposed to be there already, but Steve gave me a call to let me know Josh's flight had gotten changed and would be there at 10:30 instead of 9:00a.m. I chased around trying to find out where his flight would be coming in. Of course, it was a different concourse with a different baggage claim. We finally got together, got the car, and we were on our way to Delaware. We stayed in the Mendenhall Inn which I would definitely recommend. It was only 4 miles from the Winterthur Museum which was where his meeting was. He had a good meeting and we ate pizza afterwards and crashed. Josh had flown all night, and I had been up since 3:45 to catch my flight.

It was hard getting up the next morning, but we did and drove east to the Jersey Shore.

On the way to NJ, we crossed some large bridges. The rivers make the Congaree look tiny!

The beach!!!!!!

Josh had not been to the beach in years, so we went while the weather was good that day. After the beach, we drove to the end of New Jersey and ate at Cape May. That was a beautiful beach there. We then decided to catch the ferry across to Delaware to go back to our hotel. We had a full day of sightseeing.

The Atlantic Boardwalk went on forever and it was hard to find a place to get on the beach and a place to change clothes but none the less, we had a good time.

We found the Cape Lighthouse at the very end of New Jersey. It was so pretty down there. The beach there was much nicer than farther north where we went in the water.

We went into the town and had a really good lunch and then drove to the ferry to cross to Delaware.
