Strawberry Festival // Wildwood

I woke up this morning around 11 ish am and had a lazy time getting out of bed! I got up and talked to mom on Facebook chat. Bill had the wicker furniture out back and he told me he was leaving. He also said my neighbor Barbara said I could come by - I am looking forward to seeing her.

It was a nice and sunny day, no rain date needed - but glad they had one just in case!

I had a bowl of cereal and left at 12:30 pm to go print photos at CVS. I walked around CVS while I waited for my photos and then I also picked up a really cute beach ball nail file manicure set and a ginger ale. I left my car in the lot and went across the street to the Strawberry Festival! I went to the Bliss tent to see Nicole and her girls. I took Sage and Hudson over to the Cape May Crab Cake tent to get them sandwiches. Then I went to the Empanada Mamas and picked up my lunch - walnut hummus empanada, strawberry rhubarb empanada and a strawberry cheesecake empanada (the best!). I hung out with Nicole for a while and had a strawberry honey ice cream - soo good. I'm not a strawberry ice cream person because I think it tastes too processed but obviously Nicole's doesn't since it is homemade.

The empanadas came with strawberry dipping sauce.

Then my friend Lori and her daughters Jana and Mara joined me at the festival! Lori went to law school with my dad and she is a great family friend! Love to talk to her on Facebook :) We walked around the festival. I picked up fresh squeezed lemonade. They had strawberry lemonade but I felt like I was going to OD on strawberries.

picture perfect day!

We went back to the house and got ready to head to the beach around 4 pm. It was SO nice on the beach - windy and breezy, almost chilly. We left to go to Zoe's Beach Front Eatery for dinner. I had the fish special which was fantastic - mom reminded me that the people who owned our favorite restaurant Henry's (which our cat Henry is appropriately named for) are the owners of Zoe's. No wonder the fish sandwich was so good - I used to get it all the time at Henry's, so that made me happy.

We walked back to the house and decided to go to the Wildwood boardwalk - which Lori had never been to! It's kind of a crazy boardwalk, lots of teenagers, interesting outfits and crazy shops. Everyone should experience it at least once! Warning - WATCH THE TRAM CAR!! Oh and about 2 hours is about enough there if you're wondering!

I'm totally into mushrooms. They're fashion while yummy!

We parked by the Doo Wop museum and went into a few stores. I was looking for my good jewelry store. I found it - it's called Casino Jewelry. They sell the Beijo Brasil earrings I adore, for $5 less than at Terry Ivory (one of my other fave jewlery stores). So I got a cute pair of mushroom earrings that I had even seen and liked at Terry Ivory! I also found a cute pair of mushroom studs by one of my other favorite brands - Indigo. We had yummy funnel cake on the boardwalk too.

We came back and sat in the kitchen for a while. We said good bye and Lori, Jana and Mara left since they have a little over an hour to drive back. I cleaned up a few things, talked to both grandmas and moms and then I showered and went to bed!
