Cape May (Part Two)




We rode our bikes to Beach Plum Farm less than 2 miles outside of town. The farm grows over 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables and can be enjoyed at any of the Cape Resort restaurants throughout Cape May. 
We loved this truck full of freshly picked tomatoes!

We were a little late for asparagus season but can only imagine how delicious it was farm to table.

After our trip to the farm we decided to head into town for a fruit smoothie.

Bliss is one of our favorite spots for coffee, ice cream and of course fruit smoothies.
Need I say more?
While we were walking to dinner we saw plenty of beautiful flower boxes and baskets, but these were a favorite.

Dinner outside at the Blue Pig www.congresshall.com/content/bluepigtavern is always a treat. Their farm to table menu ( Beach Plum Farm) is impressive. This tomato salad with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella was really tasty.  

The view of the harbor from the dock at the Lobster House. We stopped here for dinner and to watch the sunset. Best fresh seafood in town.

West End Garage www.thewestendgarage.com/  is home to antique vendors and other cool treasures.  My daughter found a really nice straw basket from Ghana.

We decided to go to the Point in Cape May on our last day. These pretty mares were snacking on beach grass before heading out for a ride on the beach. People were gathering around to chat with the owners and to snap a picture or two.
The local general  store looked so inviting from the outside...we wished we had more time to stop for lunch. Next visit!



Leaving Cape May wasn't too hard to do because it was raining and overcast, and as you can see the rain followed us home. Always happy to be home.
