Playing Tourist

Today the boys, Amber & I went on a trolley ride through Cape May. We learned a lot of history about the city and the architecture...about 15 minutes too much. They boys lost interest and the novelty of the trolley ride was gone. Then we walked to the Hot Dog Tommy's - a famous hot dog stand featured on the Food Network for lunch. Amber thought that was cool. We also stopped by Cape May City Elementary to register my baby for Kindergarten! He is ready but I don't know if I am.

Grammz & Auntie visit

We had a wonderful week with Grammz & Auntie. Jackson went to nature camp in the mornings and we worked on the house, relaxed and enjoyed Cape May. Grammz & Auntie even went to a recruit graduation & ate at the galley. Jackson slept over at the hotel every night and said it was like "heaven."

In our house!

We are finally moved in our house and starting to feel at home. Jackson is in his 3rd week of camp at the Nature Center. There are kids everywhere so both boys are happy. Jason and the boys have had a little success with the crab trap. Jason's niece Amber is visiting for a few weeks and we are happy to have her. We suffered a little damage during the move, scratches, nicks, etc, but nothing too major. Just enough to be annoying. The weather is hot but nothing like Florida. We are getting by with 2 window AC units for now. still hot enough to melt ice cream though! The boys are happy to have their own rooms. The house is looking good - now on to landscaping.

Home sweet New Jersey....

We are getting settled here in Cape May. We are still not in our house yet, but hopefully next week. We are in temp. housing now. We have been to the boardwalk at Wildwood and visited Liz in South Phili. Jackson was intrigued by city living. Jason got to see his first MLS soccer game. We celebrated Father's Day here. Jason got a new grill and a crab trap. We check it everyday. So far we have caught a few crabs and a good sized flounder - not sure how he got in there. Jackson started summer camp at the nature center today and loved it. We have met lots of Coast Guard families and Jackson has already made some friends. Tomorrow is Sawyer's turn when we attend Pray & Play at the chapel.

Change of Command

Senior Chief Jason Fealy took command of the Coast Guard Cutter Finback on June 16, 2011. We are so proud. Thank you to all the friends and family who came to the ceremony.

Finishing up WV

Before we left WV we visited the Game Farm with cousin Amber. Sawyer wanted to be carried the whole time and we made him to walk so he was not happy. Jackson "protected us" from all the animls with his new toy shotgun. Jackson & Sawyer also got in a little extra trampoline and pool time.

W & W part deux

Aunt Mary took us on a tour of the original Fealy home place and we visited Uncle Steve Fealy. We also visited farmer Danny's farm and the kids fed some chickens, picked strawberries and went for a tractor ride.

Wild & Wondeful

After a short stop in NJ to drop to off my car and the dogs, we were on the WV. We've been very busy in WV playing with cousins and seeing the sites. We went to Stonewall Jackson Resort to feed the fish and visit Joe Fealy's gravesite.

Traveling Fealys

We had a great time in NC visiting the Aquarium, boating, visiting with friends and going to the beach.

Catching Up

Jackson finished up the school year with a fun Luau Party at school complete with a pineappple piata and grass skirts. Then we said goodbye to our house in Florida and our wonderful neighbors and headed to NC. We stayed at a beach house at Carolina Beach with the family for 8 days. Jackson got to go fishing with Papa and Jason & I got to see some friends. Grammz & Auntie showed the boys off and GG & Opah spoiled them.

Vacation!!

We are in NC for the week during our move to NJ. We found out we will be getting this officer's house on the base. We are very excited! Jackson and Sawyer are getting spoiled rotten and Jason & I are having fun. Last night we went to see Old Crow Medicine Show at the Brooklyn Arts center here in Wilmington. We have been visiting friends and going to the beach. On to VA on Monday then NJ on Tuesday.

Happy Mother's Day

Today was a wonderful day! Jason made a frittata, waffles and bacon for dinner. It was delicious. The we went to church and home for some rest. Jackson & I watched a documentary on crocodiles and then daddy made an amazing Mexican dinner. I received some wonderful gifts and felt very loved an appreciated. Jackson is very excited about his new bed. We got it from a neighbor at their yard sale. Jackson says he sleeps better in it. So far, so good.
