Family friendly travel aboard the Cape May Lewes Ferry

Riding the Cape May-Lewes Ferry With Kids

All Aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry! 

Every summer, the boys and I split our time between New Jersey + Delaware beaches. I have to admit, it's a pretty amazing way to spend May - August and a great excuse to leave the city behind for a bit and really enjoy the change of scenery during the hot summer months. 

And, let's be honest - life is just better at the beach.

So I pack the boys up and we usually spend 2-3 weeks in New Jersey and then another week or two in Delaware before coming back up to Philadelphia to unpack for a week or so, just to pack up and do it all again. 

We've been gone almost six weeks already since before Memorial Day! It's hard work but it's also a lot of fun and these are the years where the kids are little enough that they don't have a summer packed with camps or other activities so we can really just pick up and go. 

It's all sorts of awesome.

And because the Delaware Bay separates our vacation spots in NJ + DE, at least once a summer you can find us on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry!
