Friday we made it down the Delaware Bay to the picturesque seaside town of Cape May, NJ. The original plan was for one night here, two at most. Then weather got involved, and of course the beach called to Niki:
With the exception of a few years of discord between two series of American open wheel racing, Craig has attended every Indianapolis 500 since 1986. This year he had to settle for watching it on TV, which we did at Delaney’s Irish Pub, (dressed in an Indianapolis Motor Speedway shirt, of course):

We definitely did! We had one good day, then one day of crazy storms, a night of thunder and wind going nuts, and then another day of a little bit less rain. Today was the first good day. Unfortunately the swells out on the Atlantic Ocean combined with the lack of visible horizon in fog to get Niki a bit green, so we ended up pulling into Avalon for the night.
