Well we began our journey home yesterday from Cape Cod. We spent five completely relaxing and glorious days at my Aunt Joann's vacation home at the ocean. We had a wonderful time with my parents and spent most of our days reading good books, napping with the ocean breeze and spending the early evenings at the beach. We actually frolicked in the ocean and mozeed here and there.
After two jammed packed adventurous days in New York City, it was nice to just enjoy the simplicity and beauty that surrounded us at the Cape. We truly enjoyed each moment and kept commenting on how this was exactly what we needed. We went to a children's museum in Maspee, looked at the Mayflower II from afar (they wanted $10 to tour it). We ate Lobster and New England Clam Chowder. We went to Hyannis and walked around the quaint town. We even went to a church on Sunday that I picked out from the newspaper and after the service we found out it was a Nazarene church. The name didn't give it away, but the people did. It was a newer church plant and it was neat to see God at work in a different part of the country.
Mom and dad left Monday morning, so we spent the day relaxing and picking rocks off the beach to bring home as souvenirs. Then we went to Red Robin for dinner. One of our favorite places just happen to be in the same area of town.
Yesterday we ventured off to Boston and went to the Boston Children's Museum. It was one of the best we've gone to so far. The kids had a fantastic time. Then we went to the U.S.S. Constitution, the oldest commissioned battle ship still around. The boys enjoyed looking around and looking at the sailors in their "costumes"(uniforms). After a full day, we started our journey home. We stopped in a town called Fishkill, NY which is smack dab in the middle of the mountains. It is a beautiful sight to see. Whenever you think of New York, you always think of the city, but we have gotten to see some pretty country. We went to a cool family rec center this morning and are heading to another children's museum this afternoon. I tell ya that Annual Family Museum pass from the ACM is well worth it.
So there's a quick update. We didn't get WiFi at the cape so this is the first opportunity I've had to blog. I plan on putting up a slideshow of all our adventures once we get home. We should hit home on the 4th or 5th.
