A quick drive from Manchester brought us to The Cape!! The gorgeous, slow moving, quiet town took some getting used to. Coming from our fast moving pace of life to a sreeching halt in Cape Cod, was just what we needed. Cool weather, nearly vacant beaches (which made capturing family photos difficult, no one was around for me to bother), and more seafood than our stomachs could imagine.
Our cottage at Colonial Acres was perfect...we fell in love with our temporary home instantly. The view was gorgeous and the crisp Cape Cod morning breeze through the windows was tranquil and calming.
A sixty second walk brought us to our private beach, just to complete the pinnacle picture of our home by the sea!
We ventured to several different beaches, each with their own charisma and uniqueness. The cool sugary sand and quiet waves brought us hours of entertainment. Landon could spend all of his day digging, building, and sliding down the sand hills. We combed the beach for polished rocks, shells, and sat eating Salt Water Taffy by the hand fulls. Each night we retreated to our cottages with bags of fresh fish and shellfish fresh off the boat from the local fish markets.
A boat tour on Prudence was an ideal way to view the famous surrounding areas, including the Kennedy Compound. Landon, knowing the world is his playground, has no fear and becomes quite comfortable in new surroundings. The boat was no different, skipping, dancing, and jumping across the bow, while we chased after him!
A trip to Boston was included in our itinerary. We roamed the brick lined streets through the wharf, for more seafood, Little Italy, where we loaded up on pastries at Bova's, over to Cheers, and took the train to Cambridge to visit Harvard.
Just a glimmer of our 10 days, treasured and cherished family moments! Breeze in our hair, sand in our toes, dining on seafood stew...Cape Cod we undeniably miss you!
