cape may, new jersey

i'm officially in love with cape may. my brother mike and soon to be sister in law thea took me away for a weekend of much needed rest & relaxation. saturday we had breakfast right on the water at mcglades - best omelette i've ever had! asparagus, tomatoes, onions and cheddar cheese! we shopped a ton, took a horse & buggy ride, climbed the cape may lighthouse, went to sunset beach for sunset... it was phenomenal!

never forget


i'll never forget that beautiful tuesday morning - coming back from my 8 o'clock math class to turn on the today show as the first tower was hit. classes were canceled, and lauren & i stayed up all night watching the coverage with peter jennings. i can't believe it's been 7 years. i've never been more appreciative of the armed forces in the 7 years since 9/11/2001.... i'll never forget.
