If you have been following this blog…you already know that my husband and I spend a lot of our time down at the Jersey Shore on the Wildwood island from May through October every year. If you have never visited the area…you are really missing 

Beautiful Monarch Butterflies

How many of you love butterflies? Personally, I love them, especially the colorful ones like the Monarch. Every spring and summer…we sit outside on our deck and look for the ones that visit our yard. During the late spring season…we tend to see a lot 

Cape May Harbor in New Jersey

Cape May Harbor in New Jersey

Cape May Harbor in New JerseyI love all of these weekly “almost” Wordless Wednesday posts because it allows readers to get a small glimpse into my everyday life, the things I like to see & do and a little peek at my family. It’s a great way for you to get to know me a little bit better!

Today I am sharing with all of you a photo that I took during the Fall of 2015 when we were down at our beach house in Wildwood New Jersey. Wildwood is about 15 minutes (by car) from downtown Cape May.

When we drive from the beach house down to Cape May for the day we like to take the scenic route which allows you to see a lot of the waterfront areas and some of the back-bay areas along the way.

On our little journey we like to do a little sightseeing and enjoy parking our car & getting out to sit and watch the boats & ships in the Cape May Harbor. Many of the fishing vessels go in and out of there all day long! Some of them are quite large in size and others are you classic style shrimper & crab boats.

On this particular day they were quite busy and we got to see a lot of the deep sea fishing boats going in & out of the Cape May Harbor. I could seriously sit there for hours watching them come & go if I could!

Anyway, I’m featuring this photo today for all of you and the weekly “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post. Enjoy!

Cool Scoops – Retro Ice Cream Parlor in Wildwood

Cool Scoops – Retro Ice Cream Parlor in Wildwood

cool scoops ice cream parlorWe are really fortunate that we have a beach house down in Wildwood New Jersey. We travel down to the Jersey Shore several times every year. On some of these trips we take along the family and have a week long family vacation. It’s great for family bonding time at the beach!

Every time we are down in the Wildwood area we make sure we stop into Cool Scoops which is a retro-style 50’s and 60’s ice cream parlor. They have some of the best ice cream on the entire island!

One of the things that makes this place very cool is their retro Doo Wop decor. Both of the photos I’m featuring today for my “almost” Wordless Wednesday post were taken back in June of 2015. Isn’t that decor awesome?

You can choose to sit in a retro-style antique car table & booth or you can sit at their retro ice parlor bar. We always sit in one of the car booths which the kids really enjoy! This place is really amazing and a lot of fun to visit!

If you ever get to the Stone Harbor, Wildwood or Cape May areas in New Jersey…we highly recommend that you visit the Cool Scoops Ice Cream Parlor! Do you love going out for ice cream? If so, what’s your favorite flavor to get?
