A Morning at the Zoo and Afternoon at the Beach!

Ken and I were up by 8:15 and after getting ready, sat outside with Fred and Doloris having tea and coffee.  We did all eat our breakfast together on the picnic table.

Martins decided to go into Avalon after breakfast and do some bike riding and then go right to the beach.  We went with Cindy and John in their Jeep to the Cape May County Park and Zoo.  What a pleasant surprise!  The zoo is free (they will take donations) and what a beautiful, well-maintained property with more exotic animals than we anticipated.  The cages and grounds offer lots of natural habitats for the animals including many swings, seesaws, ladders, etc for the animals to play and exercise on.  It makes it lots of fun to watch them.  We saw giraffes, monkeys, zebras, leopards, black bears, reptiles, beautiful birds including flamingos, etc.  It has been listed as one of the top zoos in the US and it is here in small Cape May County!

We got back to Waldo around noon, packed our lunches, changed, and headed to Avalon Beach.  All 6 of us spent most of the afternoon relaxing and walking the beach.  

Fred built another campfire and that is where all of us cooked our dinners - more delicious food.  Then we went to Harvey (Cindy and John's Motorhome to play another game of Up the River and Tongue in Cheek!  We got back to Waldo around 11:15, tired but happy!
