Cape Cod is our family’s place. It’s where we go to focus on ourselves and each other without the stress of work, obligations, or schedules. Every summer, we escape to this little slice of heaven and totally, completely, unabashedly relax. Bedtimes are vague, activities are spontaneous, and meals are often eaten picnic-style on the beach.
My husband and I vacationed on the Cape every year with our own families when we were younger, and it has been magical to watch our boys fall in love with the same things we remember looking forward to all year. Little things like outdoor showers (it’s a Cape Cod thing…), tidepooling at First Encounter beach, playing mini-golf, fried food, riding the waves at Marconi, and relaxing with some drinks and snacks on the deck after a long day in the sun…these all mean summer to me.
This year, we were blessed with gorgeous weather and lots of friends and family to share our time with. Not to be overly sappy, but it was truly so wonderful that we may have already begun planning for next year’s Cape Cod vacation 🙂

Lena says: Awww - love it Sarah! The images are beautiful, and the writing also made me feel like I was there with you guys:) Love it that you used to go there as kids and now take your own kids there! It is so nice to have a 'special family place' like that... Our Jersey Shore vacations seem to be quite similar to yours and it makes me so happy just thinking about taking the girls there year after year and building family memories... Sorry, I am so sappy:) on 08.13.12 @ 8:54 pm
