I always so love traveling with you and Scott. He cracked me up talking about the wallpaper. I thought the paper was so lovely, and loved the kitchen. The homes are so beautiful!

If you went into the Atlantic and swam in a 2 o'clock direction for a few thousand miles then you'd end up in my house! Loved the wallpaper too x

Spent New Year's Eve in Cape May a few years ago! It truly is charming. Didn't get to tour the Elmen Physick house, but now it's going to be a must see for the next time we go!

I'm like you Sophia, I paused the video often to see the wallpapers. I grew up in a 1890 house that had belonged to a doctor in Asheville, NC.

That was a Christmas treat - Cape May is on my list and at Christmas at night I think some of those quaint houses would look amazing. I enjoyed the house tour, the walk on the beach and the walk to your car to see the different houses. When you were in the outdoor market I could just imagine hearing the ocean, smelling the water and the pine decor at the same time. Thanks for the visual gift!

That was so fun thanks for taking us along with you and Scott. They had them in a lot of hard work filming and editing. It was a lot of fun. I want to say that you and Scott on the beach with the sun shining coming off on an angle was very beautiful. I’m into watercolors, I automatically thought of how beautiful that would be to paint that moment I am like you as well. If it’s too crowded, I can’t enjoy myself as much he did it excellent job even with all the crowds Scott you are a great team.🎄

Thank you Sophia and Scott! I will Probably never get to New Jersey so I appreciate you taking us along and I love how you and Scott are able to spend time together ❤ I love Scott’s sense of humor and how he is chronically unimpressed. 😂 I thought the home you toured was absolutely gorgeous and I wondered if you were looking over the place settings to make sure it was accurate 😂 Thank you again Sophia and Scott! And much love to you both.

I love the tour I love the town and the house she saw it was very enjoyable for me sitting here in Palm Coast, Florida alone. My husband passed away two years ago. We went to Cape May many years ago when we lived in northern New Jersey and stayed overnight in one of the bed-and-breakfast, so it brings back happy memories. Thank you so much merry Christmas and happy new year from Jeannie.

Ha ha that’s right Scott! #gonavy. I visited Cape May in 1996 with a very cranky 3 yo who was days away from chicken pox (thanks to a little kid on the ferry 😂) She did love going to the beach to find the clear stones? She called them crystal diamonds. ❤

Cromwell became Lord Protector December 1653 for about 5 years, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert August 1819, a few Christmases in between! But Christmas as we know it was certainly established by Prince Albert, especially the Christmas tree.

Thank you for posting your vlog, Sophia. I really enjoyed seeing the Physick house. I liked the wallpaper and the simple way they presented the dining table with the ribbon and seeing the kitchen and crockery storage was interesting too. Cape May looks a very nice town. I particularly liked the look of all the houses. Btw I think it was a megatooth sharks tooth.

Are French Christmas traditions the same like English?
@mygreatchallenge 7 ай бұрын
Christmas Eve is the biggest festivity in France. That is when the family gathers. It allows for folks to go back home and have Christmas day with their kids in their own home (if you live nearby). Most families host though and the cousins would stay at one house throughout (fun memories). But other than that, same, different movies, different songs. Traditionally we serve a turkey with Chestnut stuffing on Christmas eve. Always oysters, foie Gras and smoked salmon. The Buche (log) cake. We don't have carolers, that is strictly British. Midnight mass ends shortly after midnight with the birth of our savior at exactly 12. We have the nativity scene, that's been going on for over 800 years now.

@nicolem2218 6 ай бұрын
@richardwilson1 Looking at the most recent crime report, the crime rate in Cape May is 72.4% higher than the national average. These crimes fall into two primary categories: violent and property. Violent crimes encompass murder, rape, robbery and assault, while property crimes involve theft, vehicle theft and burglary. In Cape May, there were 6 reported violent crimes, equivalent to 211 per 100,000 individuals, 43% lower than the national average. Additionally, there were 108 property crimes, amounting to 3796 per 100,000 residents, 94.2% higher than the U.S. average
@richardwilson1 6 ай бұрын
That is a very misleading number. Cape May is a tourist town . We have a residential population of less than 3000 people ( that is the number they use when showing those statistics ) In the summer we have over 50,000 people a day in Cape May and because they are not residents that number is not used in figuring the statistics. If the actual number of people in the town was used we’d have one of the lowest crime rates
