For The Love Of Oats A blog dedicated to maintaining a healthy balance!

Hi All ~

Thanks for all of your well-wishes and good-luck comments regarding our busy “wedding” weekend… Our time away was a blast and we really enjoyed every minute of it, PLUS we got a LOT of wedding stuff done, so it was really productive too, since the next time we are in Cape May (i think), we will be getting hitched!!!!!!!!

Anyway, without further adieu AND since upon logging into Google Reader there are 200 new posts that I need to catch up on from all of my favorite blogs, I’m going to make my Friday + Saturday wrap-ups in 2 parts!  We definitely enjoyed ourselves food-wise, but at the same time we didn’t move our car from the moment we got into town so we definitely got a lot of activity (in the form of walking & swimming) in, so it was the best of both worlds

FRIDAY

Friday morning, I started out eating my breakfast in the car on the way to Bill’s since I had to leave quite early… here’s my Kashi Go Lean Roll

We got to the shore and went to Cape May Court and applied for our marriage license!  It was so easy & quick that it didn’t feel like we really did it haha… Now we just pick it up the day before the wedding!  For lunch, we were starving and ate our lunch around 10:45 since we had eaten breakfast so early and didn’t have any snacks in between… We picked up Wawa on the way down… I had a turkey sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, hot peppers, and spicy mustard…

We also split some pickles on the side…

Early afternoon we went into the freezing cold Atlantic ocean, temps are rumored to be 69 but it felt much colder!  We managed to spend a good 30 minutes in the water dodging and diving into the waves, but I worked up an appetite and decided to have an apple…

I waited a  bit and was still hungry, so I dived (literally!) into this 100 calorie bag of popcorn (popped it the night before)

We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach and then checked into our B&B which was a cute and very antique-y Victorian house that has been there since the 1800’s!  By the time we showered, we couldn’t decided where to go to eat because we thought we should try something different since we are hooked on the same spots… We stumbled upon Cabana’s and decided to go in because there was a live band playing and it was a fun atmosphere… We thought that this will be a good place to go out with everyone after our rehearsal dinner!  I started out with a Strawberry Daiquiri to celebrate our marriage license (ha!)… plus since we were walking everywhere, we didn’t have to worry about driving!

For my dinner, I decided to try their crab cake sandwich and “crabby” fries with a pickle on the side… I <3 crab cake sandwiches at the shore mostly because of the local ingredients and this was awesome!  The bun was amazing too… The fries were ok and I ate maybe 4 of them and gave the rest to Bill… I still prefer good old Chickie & Pete’s fries…

After hanging out there we went into many more stores and shops and walked around town… We stopped at the Cape May Ice Cream Company and I got a kid-sized cone with sugar-free Butter Pecan ice cream… it was yummy & light

Around 11 we were just about to head back to the B&B when we passed our very favorite spot, The Ugly Mug, and decided to go in since there was a band playing… Of course, Bill and I decided to celebrate once again and I got a Miller Lite… (he ordered a Sam Adams)…

Then it was back to the B&B and off to bed…
