\"IMG_0129\"As a Jersey girl, I am no stranger to the beach. In college I worked the late shift at the local grocery store so that I could spend days at the shore (it was only about an hour away and for\u00a0$5 I could buy enough gas to get there and back, a slice of pizza and a soda, and<\/em> pay to get on the beach). Since then, life took me out of New Jersey and my schedule no longer allows for impromptu beach days.<\/p>\n

Recently, my husband and I planned to get away for a weekend and chose Cape May, NJ as our destination. \u00a0Searching for accommodations turned up a large number of hotels and inns at varying price points.\u00a0 Being a fan of bed and breakfast inns, we decided to go that route and chose the Eldredge House in West Cape May. Although it was a bit far to walk to town, the room was pleasantly decorated and the bed was comfortable. Our innkeeper, Todd, created a list of suggested restaurants for us as well as some \u201cBrisk Windy Day Activities.\u201d Unlike most B&Bs, this one does not have breakfast on the premises but instead offers gift certificates to a number of restaurants. While it is nice to have the convenience of breakfast on site, it is also nice to have a variety of options. On this trip, breakfasts did not disappoint.<\/p>\n
