We have had fanstastic weather this week on Cape Cod. The last few days have been a regular heat wave. The family was all exhausted after the whale watching trip so we slept in on Day 4. I let the husband sleep until 10:30, after all it's his vacation too! When everyone was finally up, we walked across the street to Craigville Beach. The kids really enjoyed running in and out of the water and trying to build sandcastles. Craigville Beach is one of the nicer beaches on the Cape from what I've read on Tripadvisor.com, and I can see why. It's pretty large, there are lifeguards on duty (several of them spread out along the shore), plenty of parking, and two snack shops if you get the munchies. The beach is located on Nantucket Sound ... read more

Day two of our budget vacation started off with beautiful breezy weather. We slept in and my husband got up and made everyone pancakes. I packed lunches in our cooler and then we were off to Hyannis to take part in the Pirate Adventures Cruise on the Sea Gypsy (www.pirateadventurescapecod.com). According to the website, the pirate cruise leaves from the harbor and is geared towards ages 3-11. Reservations are required, but truth be told, I called them the morning of the cruise at 8am and was able to get a same day reservation for the 2pm sailing. I didn't want to book too far ahead because I wanted to make sure we had great weather. There are restaurants on the harbor,Baxter's or Tugboats, that sell seafood and have great views of the ships. What I was ... read more

Our family of five, two adults and three children under the age of 7, are on vacation this week in Cape Cod. I am determined to spend less than $1500 and have a fabulous time. After finding cheap accommodations, my next budget conscious decision was to drive to the Cape instead of fly. The travel time from Buffalo, NY is a very managable 8 1/2 hours. I've allowed $200 for gas on our trip. On the first day of our vacation, we woke up early and left home by 5am. The kids slept in the car and we stopped for breakfast along the road ($15 McDonald's). Our first destination was Plimoth Plantation (www.plimoth.org). Plimoth Plantation is a living museum located just off the Cape in Plymouth, MA. At Plimoth Plantation they have a replica of the ... read more

And I love it (oh, are you surprised?). Cape Cod as a local · Monday, May 21 We rolled into Cape Cod with relative ease, only having Providence rush hour traffic to deal with. We then checked into our hotel in West Yarmouth and proceeded to take our much needed showers. Once cleansed we set off in search of food and found this place called Molly's Restaurant & Pub a few miles north of us. It was really cool. We walked in and there weren't many people th... read more

Provincetown, MA is the "gay & lesbian" American Dream. It is white picket fences. Fresh cut grass. Beautiful flowers. A small town village atmosphere. Friendly locals and tourists. The corner grocery shops. The town bakeries. Kids playing in their yards. People walking their dogs. Locals and visitors riding bikes. People flying kites. People fishing. Kayaking. Canoeing. Lounging lazaliy in a boat. Sunning on a beach. Having lunch on the pier. Yes. Provincetown is like the gay suburbs -- however -- it is a suberb atmosphere with a "wilder" side.
