Just what the doctor ordered…

Day 149 - Monday, May 28th 2012

Last weekend Gist, Simon, Rudy, and I were lucky enough to head out to Cape Cod to celebrate the unofficial start of summer. These past two months have been a bit more trying than they needed to be, and heading to the Cape for some relaxing in the salt air was a lovely dose of just what we needed.

We got to eat delicious food and drink delicious beer…

Lobstah!

Simon and Rudy love the cape!

And, as an extra-special treat, we got to see how Cabot’s Salt Water Taffy is made!

I buy some of Cabot’s amazing salt water taffy every time I visit Provincetown – at least twice a summer – and seeing how it is made was the high point of my weekend.

Being on the Cape was such a nice way to kick off the summer – I know I’m looking forward to a few months of long days full of summertime fun, hopefully a few of them will be spent on Olde Cape Cod!

  1. I love that you love this place too. Something about the way the air smells up there… it is instantly happy-making. And I’m so jealous that you got to learn how taffy was made! (and that you live so much closer so you don’t have to factor in such a long journey when deciding to go. :) )
