I'd never been to Cape Cod before and didn't know what to expect. A beach area is a beach area, right? Wrong!!! The ocean water temperature is COLD! There was pounding surf and miles of beaches but I voted to let my feet and legs stay sandy to stay out of the cooler than what I was used to, water temperatures. After my second day at the Cape (Orleans to be exact), I mentioned to my daughter that I was slightly bored. We stayed at "A Little Inn on Pleasant Bay" an absolutely fantastic and picturesque location within minutes of Nausset Beach. "You're kidding, right?" she asked. "You're on Cape Cod, you're supposed to do nothing, just relax." Well, this is new to me. I'm used to South Carolina and Florida Beaches where you head up ... read more

On Sunday, June 29, 2008 Daddy began his day early to ride his bike all over the place after feeding Isabella (He did all the 5:00 am feedings). During the vacation he rode to Nauset Light, Coast Guard, Lecounts Hollow, Calhoon's Hollow, White Crest, South Sunken Meadow, Cook's Brook, and Campground beaches. He also rode along the Cape Cod Rail Trail and on roads throughout Eastham. In the morning he usually picked up ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts for mommy before coming home (she would be asleep with Isabella because she always did the 2:30 a.m. feedings). Later in the day on Sunday we went to the Wellfleet flea market, played around the yard, visited Coast Gaurd Beach (with Russ and Sophie), and ate at Finely JP's restaurant in Wellfleet (formerly known as "My Brother's Place ... read more

On Tuesday, July 1, 2008 we got a late start to the day. We drove on Route 6A and stopped at a few shops along the way. One place we stopped was The Strawberry Patch in Brewster because Mommy likes it there. She bought Isabella a book called Good Night Cape Cod. That night we ate dinner at Mac's Seafood! Mommy and Daddy had lobsters at the Wellfleet Habah (Harbor). Isabella slept through the entire meal, but several people commented on how cute and peaceful she was:-) We then made a quick stop by the Orleans Cardinal game before heading home. On Wednesday, July 2, 2008 Isabella enjoyed her first outdoor shower. We went for our daily walk to the bay beach and hung around the house during the day. We had dinner at Mac's Seafood's ... read more

Heading South from Boston we stopped off in Provincetown a small fishing town in Cape Cod. Benji had given us the choice to either go to the beach for the day or go on the Whale Watching boat trip that alighted in the harbour. I was disappointed because out of the group only myself and one other decided to go. The trip cost $35 that lasts 3-4 hours but I was hesitant to hand over this much money because I knew these animals were not performing moneys in a zoo and viewings are not guaranteed. I was reassured by the pledge that if there was no sightings, our money would be refunded or we would be given a ticket for a future trip. Looking at the boat I was put at ease, it was of an ... read more
