Lexi has been asking to go to the beach for a while. We weren't quite sure what she meant, what exactly she wanted to do there. In D.C., if you're wealthy, you have a house or a cabin at the beach in Maryland or Delaware, and you go there every weekend during the summer. You also have to battle traffic (especially on bridges across the Chesapeake Bay) when you go to the beach because everybody else has the same idea of going to the beach on the weekends.
For our June vacation (we are taking some sort of vacation each month this summer), we decided to take a couple of days when Lexi had no school (Sarah and I took two days off work) and go to the beach in New Jersey. We went to Wildwood, which is on the southern tip of the state, midway between Atlantic City and Cape May, on the very southern tip of the state. We decided to take the route through Delaware, which means you take a ferry from one cape in Delaware across the water 16 miles to Cape May in New Jersey. Putting the car on the ferry was part of the fun for Lexi.
Here is Lexi on our first day on the beach, running with a carefree attitude in the sand and surf. It was so heartwarming to see her so happy and getting her wish.
