Cape Cod 2010 - We Have Arrived

July 31, 2010 (Saturday)

We have arrived for our annual two week vacation on Cape Cod. Our summer home is in Eastham, and we have been vacationing here for decades (literally). Our family will be trickling in over the next few days. At our peak (in terms of guests), there will be 16 of us here.

Chris and I arrived today, as did my Mom. We drove half-way here last night, and made the remainder of our trip this morning. Although we had hoped to arrive by noon, we were foiled by some truly excessive traffic. We hit a slow moving procession of vehicles about
10 miles from the Bourne Bridge. And we crept along. We sat in that traffic for about an hour

It was discouraging. But it is always worth the wait!

We finally arrived at our house around 1:00pm. My Mom was already here, so she constituted our welcoming committee of one. And then we proceeded through our "settling in" routine.
We unpacked the car, and unpacked our clothes, and then we headed to the grocery story to buy the essentials. My Mom and I also made our first run (with many more to come, no doubt) to Snow's -- our favorite all-things-for-the-home store.

And now we are relaxing with our Cape Codders. Chris made them for us. They are a great combination of cranberry juice, vodka and lime. Cheers to another great beach vacation!

  2. Hummm, these two look vaguely familiar. One looks a bit like an athlete; she must work out. The other one looks a bit like me, but I'm not sure; she's so skinny!

    I expect to compare biceps in a week, ladies, so be ready.
