Wildwood Beach Part 1

 It was so nice to get away for a few days. What a fun time! The weather wasn’t ‘sit on the beach’ kind of weather like we often have in later September. But this is 2020 when NOTHING is as usual 😁 

Dale, Ellen and I left around 12:30 in the afternoon on Sunday for Wildwood, NJ. As we were getting to the Delaware Memorial Bridge traffic slowed to a crawl. Construction was happening on the bridge and lots and lots of other roads all merge together before actually getting to the bridge. 

Only two lanes were open!!! No wonder the traffic was so backed up! After that it was smooth sailing all the way to Wildwood. 

Decided to go to the boardwalk to find something to eat  later that evening. Was very chilly and windy out there.  

Again another completely unusual...

The boardwalk was nearly empty! 

And many eating places were closed...

many for the season. 

Ended up getting pizza for Dale and Ellen 

and I just ate some things we brought along. 

Monday

Still windy and rather chilly again. 

We decided it was a good day to visit the zoo. 

Cape May County Zoo

It’s free! 

Farm animals, lions, buffalo, cheetah...

Masks needed to be worn. 

Staff reminded people throughout the park. 

Poster reminder too 😁

I love the zebras!

Posing with a zebra 😊

Always some beautiful flower gardens too

at this zoo. 

Love the 9 1/2 ! 

We did a lot of walking on the boardwalk. 

Walked to find some dinner 

which we found here. 

We actually ate inside...

We were the only ones there!

Dale had cheesesteak,

Ellen a meatball sandwich.

 I had a salad with tuna salad on it. 

It was delicious

and Ellen and I could only eat half

of our meals

We got two meals out of one...a win!

Windy walk after dinner! 

Walked to the Wildwoods sign! 

Ellen wanted ice cream at Kohrs Brothers

but I was finished walking. 

I went back to the condo while they went 

to the ice cream stand...

but it was closed!!

Our girl loves that ice cream

and we noticed that the one was open across 

from the Wildwoods sign..

So being the good parents we are 😊

.......

We got into the van

and drove her there for some ice cream!

(We got some too)

It was yummy. 

On the way back we went on a street 

we were never on before. 

How about those colorful light poles! 

Stay tuned for the next post

to learn what other fun things we did. 

This was the most unusual beach vacation

for us. Beach means beach for me. 

Usually. 

This time not so much!
