Cape May, NJ

Long, long ago a woman by the name of May would climb up the steep ladder into the lighthouse every night and direct the local boats into the harbor. During the winter months it is said that she often wore a long cape to keep her warm at night while she watched for the incoming ships and so the name of this harbor side town came to be --Cape May.  Haha. Not really.
Definitely not Jersey Shore.  Cape May is a quaint and picturesque town along the coast line of New Jersey about 2 hours south of Philadelphia. The coastal sunsets are breathtaking with old victorian style homes, hydrangeas and butterflies surrounding the nearby streets.
A local favorite....
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 10am the hippie bread goddess of Cape May opens her street side stand on Ocean Drive offering amazing wood fired bread, muffins and some local produce.  I am not a huge fan of bread but this stuff is amazing! There was a long line and the muffins were completely gone by 10:10am.  I was responsible for bringing the bread back to the house since my bike had a bungie cord.  Thank heavens I made it back and did not get attacked by the massive seagulls that are exceptionally well fed here.  Pretty sure I would have never heard the end of that one considering we arrived on Tuesday and all we've heard about everyday is this amazing local bread from the hippie down the street.  Here's a picture of the bread in tow...
