cape may

for the past several summers i've spent a week in cape may, new jersey with two of my best friends - becky and sarah, whose family so kindly welcomes us to their cozy beachfront condo. cape may is one of my favorite beach towns - right up there with the outer banks and paia, maui. a week at the beach with the girls is a treasure for sure.

we take winter trips to cape may too, so there is no shortage of memories and these are usually recalled on the drives down as excitement builds. the three of us share a king size bed every time we go, even if we're the only ones there - and the laughter from the time in that room alone is immeasurable. every time. i'd love to listen to a clip of every conversation we've had in there through the years. so many memories - makes my heart happy.

{oh, if you want to see these pictures "in order," you're gonna wanna start from the bottom and scroll up, because i totally uploaded these in reverse. tomato, tomato.}

the most dressed-up we were all week. :-)
