[As the weather report rolls in with our first snow of the season, I’m dreaming of warmer days…]
Cape Cod is…
Seashell hunting on long marshy beaches.
Wave jumping, sunshine, sandcastles and living in your bathing suit.
Boat rides, whales, sunset cruises, kayaking and miles of ocean to explore.
Baseball games, trolley rides, mini golf, window shopping, and enough ice cream to spoil your dinners for a week straight.
Hiking, biking, climbing, running, swimming, skipping, and jumping.
Lighthouses, hydrangeas, cedar shingled cottages, sand dunes, sunrises on misty mornings, beach campfires, and the most perfect evening light I’ve ever seen.
Connecting by disconnecting, an escape to a different world just a car ride away, having days of no plans fill themselves with memories that will linger for weeks to come.
Years of memories layered one on top of the other, and mapping a child’s (painfully!) fast growth against the same familiar backdrop.
For us, Cape Cod is summer. For us, Cape Cod is coming home.
The cure for anything is salt water – sweat, tears, or the sea. – Isak Dinesen
