September was a little bit wet at the end, with very unusual cloudy days, but October so far it's been pretty good, first of all the beach has been empty of humans but full of my birds sandpipers, sanderlings, and off course all kinds of sea gulls, dolphins are still here, and hundreds of Monarch butterflies on their way to Mexico, we walk in the morning, and in the afternoon, we bring our chairs to the beach, and while I read my books, ken checks out the horizon for a long display of sail boats going south, and depending on the time of the day he guesses whether they are going to cape may, Baltimore, north or south Carolina, he also gets to see many tug boats his favorites,(must be in his blood) always pulling huge boats, and the seagulls sit by us content to have the tranquility of the beach to themselves, the little ones are always eating something by the water and then they just sit facing the wind on one leg, relaxed like saying "humm no humans around".
The weekends are different, the Wildwoods and Cape may organized more festivals than there are names for. One weekend, they had the 4 wheelers competition on the beach in Wildwood, and soccer tournaments all over, this past weekend Cape may had the Lima bean festival and off course the wine festival, which I must add, it was fabulous. 22 wineries times 8 or 10 wines, there was a lot of tasting, a nice band playing in the background and lots of good food. the weather was perfect.
The rest of the weekend went really fast, we had a great time with Kenny in DC. We went there Sunday morning and this time went across NJ and came out by the Memorial bridge, we love going that way because we get to see all the farms and little towns all dressed up for Halloween,
We spent the afternoon with Kenny, and met Cait and her parents. Monday was a very busy and productive day, we took a metro and went to the beautiful Botanical gardens, a great place to see, then went to the American Indians museum, and off course Ken was in his glory. this is a must see, the outside is shaped like a pueblo and they have 4 floors of amazing history. we got to watch a very interesting movie and got to taste some basic American Indian food.
My son never gets tired and the city blocks seemed very short to him, so he insisted to show us the museum of space and aviation, very interesting. I think Sean will have a field day there. then we were told that we were only a mile and a half to the restaurant he had made diner reservations, and were given a choice of taking the metro to shorten the distance, we walk 1/4 mile to the metro, went for about 10 minutes till we exited and started to walk for about 10 more very little blocks (lol) any way we made it to 7PS Restaurant. where our son treated us to a very interesting diner, on the way home we had some delicious yogurt.
Tuesday we did some chores and sight seeing on our own, and met Kenny for dinner, went to sleep early because we had to get up early and deliver the kid to his job to get on the bus to Norfolk. He will be leaving next Sunday morning to Hawaii, and we'll missing very much(bon voyage, buen viaje, have a wonderful trip)but he will be very happy.
Here we are again in God's country with our birds, our ocean, thinking of every body we love.
God bless every one.
