Today's Theme: CapeCod




Cape Cod beaches are a little bit wild, a little rugged compared to the beaches in Alabama and Florida. Not so "tropical." You won't find any palm trees.
When Chris was in college he had a couple of buddies that summer'd on Nantucket. We drove to Woods Hole, MA and took the ferry over to Nantucket. I loved the weathered shingle houses and the cobblestone streets.

There were a whole bunch of us crashing at the friends house. It was really hot inside so Chris & I took our sleeping bags & pillows and slept outside on the side lawn under the stars. Had to have been 20 years ago but I still remember the fun we had on that trip (and the oriental kid who knew every word to that REM song!).

Another memorable Cape Cod trip was after we were married, getting ready to close on our first house, flat broke, we visited Chris's buddy Andy at his Grandmother's house on the Cape. She had one of the most incredible beach houses I had ever been to.
She lived in the house year round and every window had an amazing view. It was still a little too chilly to get in the water so we bought kites and flew them on the beach like a bunch of little kids.

Good times; good times.
