Tawny Compact Package

Meg and I have been so lucky to have the last three months off together with Ayla. To top off this wonderful family summer vacation, we spent the last month on the gorgeous New Jersey shore, in Cape May Point, New Jersey, with Meg's mother, Judy, and her grandmother, Elizabeth, with frequent visits from sister Sarah, brother-in-law Scott, and nephew David. We were also happy to get to spend time with Meg's father, John, his wife, Zong Min, and step-bro, Shao. Last but not least, we caught those wascally "Medford Bruces," cousins Jeff and Laura and Aunt Ginny, who hosted us at their usual summer rental house in Stone Harbor.

If you want to skim through some adorable photos (not that I'm biased), please check out our Web photo albums, "Jersey Shore - Part I" and "Jersey Shore - Part 2" by clicking here.
