me and FH love Cape May, NJ.. we went down there last year, and fell in love and went again this year. It is at the southern tip of the Jersey shore-- and is a beautiful Victorian seaside resort with beautiful homes, quaint B&Bs, great restaurants and antique shops..

We thought it would be a nice idea to share this place with our parents- so we want to get them a gift cert. for a night's stay and dinner at one of the popular B&B's that also has a 5 star restaurant.

We have four sets of parents, so I would guess we wouldn't spend more than $200 on each.

Yeah, I think giving our parents some R&R and dinner on us is the perfect gift after them devoting all this time and money to the wedding... plus, when we first when down there-- we thought how much our parents would love it..

Now, I just hope they don't plan to all go down the same weekend-- THAT would be interesting.

Randi -- we are sending the folks on mini vacays also. I think that is a fab gift.
