Yesterday, besides being Cinco de Mayo, was my dad's birthday. He's 86 now. Tim and I decided a week ago that it was the perfect day to take my parents on a road trip to Cape May, New Jersey, and it was.
A bit of drizzle to start the day but then the sun broke through the clouds and it was lovely.
After we ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant, of course, we found a park at the waterfront and enjoyed the sun, watched some dolphins, and the Cape May-Lewes ferry come in.
It was a really nice day.
We try to get out for a road trip once every few months, mostly they are day trips but earlier this year we went to Nashville and saw our new grandbaby and my parents 15th great grand. Last autumn we went to the Poconos and did the Fall Foliage train ride out of Jim Thorpe.
With a wedding in August, we'll see if we can fit a trip in the summer.
It's a lot of fun, and they enjoy getting to see new things. So do I!
