Cape Cod anniversary trip

A couple of weekends ago IM and GM came to town a week before my and IM's college reunion. GM had never spent much time in Boston before so IM wanted to show him around. We all went down to the Cape together for a chill weekend. IM shot this very cool pic of three of us--neat, huh?

IM also found us a great little B&B called
Cobblestone Cottage. The room we stayed in was super comfy with a newly updated bathroom en suite. We were the only people there that weekend so it was like having a little hotel all to ourselves. I'd definitely go back there and highly recommend it. Bev's bottomless cookie jar was a big plus :)

We did a lot while we were there, considering we didn't do a lick of activity planning before heading down there. We arrived late Friday afternoon and just wandered down to the nearest beach for a look-see; it wasn't really swimming weather. Splurged on a yummy dinner at Pisces. Instead of appetizers we basically got a couple of entrees to share amongst the four of us. Mmm, mmm good.

Saturday we did a great bike ride on the Rail Trail--a nice, flat, easy ride. The hubby says we rode something like 16 miles round trip. I haven't been on a bike in probably 7 years so that was a big deal for me. We barely missed the rain that started flowing just before we got back to the bike shop. After the ride I somehow coerced everyone into doing a little bit of rock climbing at a local gym (heehee).

On Sunday we fulfilled GM's need to see the Kennedy compound with a little boat trip out of Hyannis. I actually skipped that tour because of my tendency to get seasick and instead went shopping on the main drag. We made sure to get back over the bridge at a decent hour to avoid the traffic and explored Plymouth a bit. Plymouth Rock was unfortunately not open for viewing as they were renovating the structure that's built over it. The trip ended with a delicious meal at Isaac's in Plymouth. Don't let their 1980s, gold-trimmed, ugly carpet decor fool you--the seafood is delicious!
