The trip to Cape May was quite an adventure! I flew out at 6:15 AM Portland, Oregon time and arrived in Philadelphia about 5:00. I got to the hotel that was provided by the mom in need fund it was very nice and clean hotel and they recommended a delicious dinner only one block away and gave me a token for a free drink.
The next morning I woke early and walked on the Wildwood Board Walk. Later I arrived at a toll bridge with no change, they would not accept a credit card. The guy on the toll bridge gave me a free pass! The Coast Guard greeted me at the gates and checked my ID and name of my son. I was then guided each step of the way with a Graduation program and directions to parking. A cart picked us up from the parking lot and delivered us to Breakfast at the Hall. After breakfast, we went to see a boot camp film that was quite informative and entertaining. We also received a pep talk on how to be a lifeline for our Coasties. Then on to a very proper graduation. At 2:00 we drove back to Philly made it down to Geno's and had a famous Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, returned the rental car, and caught my 7 PM flight to Denver and then changed planes and back to Portland. I had never experienced this before. It was a lovely time and I will never forget the help of your group. May God bless you and your endeavors.
