Cape Cod Wonderfulness

So, is summer officially over? For us, perhaps it is after our almost-a-week vacation on Cape Cod. We must have done something very right to experience the near-perfect weather. It was around 80 degrees every day, with almost painfully clear blue skies, and just slightly chilly evenings.

The best part of the week was our location at the Chatham Tides. We had an oceanfront room, with our own deck from which we enjoyed breakfast every day. Bobbers was smart enough to bring the portable XM radio, so we dined al fresco with jazz or blues accompaniment each morning, wearing sunglasses and going barefoot all the while.

Inspired by the soft ocean breezes and relaxed atmosphere, we didn't do a lot - we shopped some, enjoyed some short drives to the Cape's outermost points - like Wellfleet and Provincetown, topped off with some great dinners. The best were at the Nauset Beach Club in Orleans and Pisces, just up the road from us in South Chatham. If you find yourself lucky enough to be on the Cape, try them out.

Here's some pictures to remind us of what we're missing as the weather turns to fall and the days get shorter...Enjoy!

It looks idyllic Becks.

On my first visit to Boston, I drove down to the Cape but couldn't do it justice in half a day.

Maybe one day...

If you come back, HS, be sure to make it over to the islands. I prefer Martha's Vineyard because it's much less pretentious than Nantucket. But either way, you can't go wrong!

By the way, Ted, the bottom picture of the sunset is for you!

Aww becks: for me? I really appreciate it. I'm on my way to your next post, and I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to comment sooner, but thanks: it's much appreciated.
