I am so
excited to write this blog post about my day in
Delaware yesterday! If you didn't read yesterdays blog post, Cody and I decided to go to
Ocean City, MD because we finally had a day off together! Also, it was like an early
anniversary date. I had so much fun and I've been looking forward to sharing what I did and how much we spent in total with you!
So, lets get started!
We woke up around 9 am to catch the
Cape May Ferry (located in Cape May, NJ) which was going to Lewes, DE. It took the
jaws of life to get me out of bed because I was
so tired but eventually I got out and got dressed! We stopped at
WaWa to grab some morning coffee, or in my case a
French Vanilla Cappuccino, and headed toward the ferry!
We intended on getting on the
10:30 am ferry so that we would make it to Ocean City, MD, with plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. However, when we got to the ticket booth to buy tickets for the ferry, the woman told us that the
10:30 ferry was
full; which meant we had to take the
12:00 one! We were so upset but she told us that sometimes if there's room we may be able to fit on the
10:30 one! Annnnnnnnnnnd..
luckily, there was room! We were the
last car in our lane able to fit onto the ferry!
If you haven't been on a ferry before, it's a
HUGE boat that you drive your car onto! It drives through the water (obviously) from one location to another, cutting the travel time in half. It makes it
really easy for commuters because it's a shorter distance and if they commute back and forth from work everyday, they don't have to worry about being exhausted and falling asleep behind the wheel! The round trip price for the ferry was
$80; that included the car, Cody and me. The $80 is definitely worth it when you think of how much you would've spent in
gas driving there. Each ferry is different but they're
HUGE usually 2-3 floors and very spacious. There's a great view, mini food court, arcade, TVs and everything else you could possibly ask for during your mini travel period.
Here are some pictures of the view:
Birds always seem to follow the boat and sometimes you can even see dolphins!
Cody was having a lot of fun! We were loving the breeze coming off the water and we were still a
little tired so it was keeping us awake! The morning was over-cast which was making us worried about the possibility of rain during our mini vacation. After about an
hour and fifteen-ish minutes, we finally got to Delaware! And there was absolutely no traffic getting off of the ferry; it was very well ran. We had a
45 minute drive to OC, MD but we were excited to see cool stuff along the way!
Like this bridge for example:
