Cape May odds & ends

The aesthetic of Cape May is a far cry from what one would imagine the "Jersey Shore" to be... although my brother and I jokingly spotted a "guido convention" while dining at a beachfront restaurant.

The colorful Victorian houses are so dreamy - I imagine the interiors are decorated in a similar fashion, but I love to picture modern decor inside any of these. Most of these were built in the late 1800's and are historic landmarks. I'm not sure how many of those pictured are, but it seems that almost every house in Cape May is a bed and breakfast.






I fell in love with the house pictured directly above.

Currently in Cape May, NJ until next Saturday. The weather today was sort of awful, so we left the beach early... and upon arrival back at the house, I showered then took a nap. Since waking up and discovering that everyone was eating at a very vegan-unfriendly restaurant, I've been catching up on True Blood and reflecting.

Before I start with any negativity, I must say, Cape May is unbelievably charming. Sure, it's just as touristy as any other shore point, but the buildings here are so lovely. There's gardens that are still fragrant, and there's antique shops strewn throughout town. If the beach isn't an option tomorrow, I think I'll set out on a bike with my camera to do some first-hand exploring.

I could use it. Right now, I just can't shake this feeling. I'm lonely. I know there's only so much you can expect from others, but it doesn't help to be thrown snide comments instead of (even meaningless) advice. I might not know what's best for me, and I might not know what I want, but I know I deserve more. But saying that I deserve the best turns me into some self-centered bitch. "Oh, why do you deserve the best?" Needless to say, there's a few relationships that need rethinking.
