Along the way

We found a hidden gem in the hills of western Virginia, Hungry Mother State Park. We camped for 2 nights and took advantage of the lake, activities and the amazing resturant. Yeah!! No cooking. We even went to a drive in movie. Bosco fell in the lake and got stung by bees. I wasn't sure if she was going to make it.

Saying Goodbye

We said goodbye to great friends and our little house in Cape May and headed out for our next adventure.

Wrapping up

Jason's change of command and the packers/movers all came in the same week. It was very hectic but all went well. Jason's COC was a wonderful ceremony and his crew got him an awesome gift - a replica pirate gun! ALL the boys had a good time with that.

Wildwood Boardwalk

We made one last trip to the Wildwood Boardwalk to say goodbye to all things Dirty Jersey.

The first tooth!

Back to NJ - for now

We made it back to NJ via the Lewes, DE ferry. It was a long trip but worth it for a great week with family in NC. We got home to lots of produce ready to eat in our garden.

NC Happenings

While in NC we celebrated my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary. Jason & I saw some friends and spent the day in Wilmington. We ate at our favorite restaurants and did a little shopping. It was a great vacation! Family photo to come.

Fishing with Papa

The highlight of our trip to NC for the boys was most definitely time spent on the boat fishing with papa. The boys caught a few fish and Sawyer caught a 2 pound + clam! We ate what we could keep.

School's out for summer!!

There was a big celebration on the last day of school at Cape May City Elemenatry. Jackson said goodbye to teachers, friends and got one last hug from the school mascot Bubbles.

Cold Spring Village

Last weekend we spent the day at Cold Spring Village, A living history museum in North Cape May. It was very interesting and Jackson really enjoyed it. Sawyer, not so much. They had a "pastport" that the kids took around to each exhibit to get stamped and could turn in at the end for a treat. That was the only way Sawyer held on. The boys got to use a turn of the century printing press, spin wool, learn to knit & work in the wood shop. A pig flung mud on me and that made the day for Jason.

Aesop's Fables

Jackson's P.A.C.E. class performed several Aesop Fables for parents. They were SOOOO cute. Jackson had parts in several. The funniest was when he was the dog in "The Dog and the Butcher."

Father's Day

What an awesome day. Jason had breakfast and presents in bed then we went to church. Jackson could barely contain himself during church because he knew fishing was coming after. Jason played soccer then we grilled out steaks with our neighbors. We will really miss this harbor!

He's kind of a big deal!!

Jason Fealy was appointed to Chief Warrant Office on May 31, 2013. The ceremony was very nice and the boys and I got to put on his shoulder boards and cover. There was a reception after. The crew has had a hard time transitioning from calling him "senior" to "Mr." Jason still answers the phone "Senior" as well. I guess they will all have to get accustomed to it.
