Sugar Gliders

"These little guys can live up to 15 years if taken well care of!

Sugar Gliders are known to have a “sweet tooth”, and they also have a fold of skin

from their front feet to their back feet which helps them glide – which is how they got their name!

Sugar gliders ability to glide when they spread out their furred fold of skin is similar to the Flying Squirrel. But that is the only thing they have in common with the Flying Squirrel.

Jersey Shore: Point Pleasant

North Beach, Chatham, MA (Cape Cod)

It may be all the years we spent in California, but we just don't find most of the Jersey shore to be pleasant. This year, we decided to take a short trip to Cape Cod to relax. Our hotel offered day trips to a beach accessible only by boat that gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for, interrupted only by the barking of gray seals.
