Our Cape Cod Getaway

Last week Dan and I had the extreme pleasure of taking the whole week off and driving up to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Scheduling four posts ahead of time meant I didn't have to worry about the blog going stale while we soaked up some sun and seafood in New England. Dan and I haven't actually been on a week-long vacation together since our honeymoon (six years ago!) so this was a much anticipated and well deserved trip.

Basically we spent the week relaxing, sleeping in, antiquing, whale watching, exploring, and eating.

This was our view out to see the whales...

 And here's a screen shot from a video Dan took of one of the whales RIGHT NEXT TO our boat. It was amazing. He flapped his flipper a bunch of times too as if to say hello! 

We probably saw about 10-15 whales total...it was incredible.

A little roadside store we passed:

Spelled my same way too!

And here's where we stayed. Through the site HomeAway we found a guest cottage being rented out for much cheaper than a hotel would've been. Plus we had a kitchen so we were able to eat a few meals in which was nice. The house was centrally located and we were able to reach almost all the cities on the cape in no time at all.

Overall it was a fantastic relaxing week and I'm so glad we were finally able to get away together. Have you ever been to Cape Cod?
