Mini vacation





We spent a few days before the weekend down on the very tip of Cape Cod in Truro. We've stayed here a few times before and it is always fun and relaxing. It's called Horizon Beach Hotel and we got a room with 2 doubles and a kitchen with a little balcony that overlooks the ocean across the street.

We arrived in the rain, but it didn't stop us and off to Provincetown we went to walk all around the streets. We ate indoors because of the downpours and it was the best clam roll ever! We spent the next bright and sunny day hopping from the pool to the beach and later in the day we went back to P-town and climbed the tower (I think it is 252 feet high) and then headed to pizza joint called Spiritus which was featured in July's issue of Rachel Ray magazine. It was outstanding with a nice thin crispy crust. After this we headed to Ben and Jerry's ice cream to top it all off! I waddled home where I watched Big Brother while the guys went back to the beach to throw the football around. It was a wonderful mini break away from life where we could enjoy sun and sand and a fabulous place for people watching!

    Karen, I always love your pictures.
    Is Cape Cod a crazy-long drive for you guys? Was it expensive? That's something Nancy and I always wanted to do...the Cape.
    We went to the ocean today. When we got there, Kels slammed her finger in the car door :( Like...all the way...it was closed. Poor thing. So we got ice on it and I stayed in the water (still cold) with her 'til it got numb. We ended up staying in the water the entire day! Nice wave and we threw a football around. So...I be tired. I didn't bring the camera because I'm a lazy bast. But I'll start doing that again. Did you see my facebook profile? We had a dinner in NYC with Newt Gingrich. He was an awesome speaker.

    Drew, it took us about an hour and half because of the traffic, but I can be on the lower cape (Sandwich, Mashpee, Falmouth area) in less than an hour. We love the cape and are lucky that we can take day trips. There are some wonderful bike trails that I haven't had time to do.. and even in the rain you can manage to have fun. Your kids would love it.. pretty much any part of the cape. We like Truro because its so far out there and very quiet. We usually hit the drive in but it was Harry Potter which Billy already saw and Matthew has no desire to see! Maybe next year...

    There aren't any drive-in's on Long Island anymore. I miss those.
    We book Bar Harbor, Maine for August. Or should I say: Bah Habah ;-)

    Bah habah should be great! The very best seafood and lobstah! We're going to Wells Beach, ME in August. Bill has a friend with a house right on the beach and he is doing his annual Thanksgivin in July with all his neighbors.. I love Thanksgiving dinner! I guess he rents grills and does about 11 turkeys on the rotiserrie.. should be interesting.. why does everything in my life involve food?
