Cape Cod Adventure

Last week we embarked on a new adventure: the family vacation. We went with friends of ours to a house in Hyannis...on the Cape. It was a beautiful place with so much to see. It looks like a small litte loop, but it is so much bigger. The beaches were beautiful and calm. The views were spectacular. It was a fun 11 hour trip down as we picked up Catie and Abbie, our friends' teenage daughters, from a running camp in PA. The looks you get when you have five kids. That is what we got when we went to McD's and forked over about 40 bucks. People stopped and stared at our psuedo-large family. I cannot imagine it. We staying in a gorgeous "cape" style house right down the street from the Kennedy Compound and not far from Squaw Island where Maria and Gov. Arnold were staying for the holiday weekend. We did some Kennedy "stalking" and walks to the post office. We did see Teddy and his son on the boat dock. The kids saw the paparazzi stalking for real-lawn chairs and big lenses. We had a monster lobster bake at the house, a "tour" of Cape Cod potato chips, lots of shopping, a trip to Martha's Vineyard on the ferry, eating lots of "lobsta," and lots of family time, laughs and fun. There was even an appearance by the now infamous "Cape Cod Man." He serves a mean stinger.
