Cape Cod!






On Saturday Deb and I drove down the coast – a very heavily wooded coast, I might add – from Boston, through Plymouth (nope, didn't see the actual "rock") and across the bridge into Cape Cod. We stayed Saturday and most of Sunday in the town of Dennis, which was established in 1639. Like many of the towns on the Cape, Dennis runs width-wise across the peninsula and includes the townships of Dennis, South Dennis, East Dennis, Dennis Port, and probably more (don't ask me why, I have no clue!). We found the west towns on the outside or open ocean side of the Cap to be much more "touristy", like the Dells or Minocqua, while the bay side towns are hidden away gems and are much quieter ("quainter" as Debbie said), more like Door County. Our hotel was on the bay side near three sandy beaches. Saturday was cool so we did a bit of exploring and ended the night with a lobster dinner (okay, only I had the lobster!). Sunday was 85 and sunny and we spend and outstanding day on the beach where Debbie's sun-soaking produced a glowing tan and my soaking produced a painful color that looked suspiciously like the lobster's from the night before. I guess SPF 4 and I don't get along.
