I'm popping in for a quick post and hello from.....Boston! I don't know how I didn't manage to post on this earlier. My sister graduated from her master's program at Salem State this week and the whole family made it out to celebrate! We've been in Boston where Heather lives for the last two days and tomorrow AM we're packing up the car and heading to CAPE COD for a week!!! I have never been and I'm so incredibly excited. If I had to describe my personal design style I would have to say Cape Cod is it.
This definitely isn't the time of year for lounging on the beach, but that's just fine! We have tons of exploring planned.
I can't wait to soak up every last minute and load up on inspiration!
I've gotta run! David has never been to the East Coast and we can't leave Boston without a trip to Fenway Park. The Red Socks are playing the Cubs and we're squeezing in a trip!
If anyone has any tips or must-visits in Cape Cod I'd love to hear them!
Oooh fun! I can't wait to hear all about your trip...and what you ate! ;)
ReplyDeletePlymouth, it's where it all started!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your sister!
ReplyDeleteWhere are you staying on the Cape? What town? If you're near Wood's Hole, take the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard and walk around the gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs, then take a cab to Edgartown and walk around. Both towns are very different but equally beautiful.
If you're way out on the cape you should check out Provincetown. Nothing much will be open during the week so a weekend would be better but there are lots of beautiful homes and it's great to walk around if the weather is good.
Have fun! You can't go wrong.
I'll be there in a few weeks visiting family, I can't wait! I love it there! Hope you have a great time!

Cape Cod for a week....the BEST!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip Melissa!
ReplyDeleteHave so much fun! I am about 45 minutes outside of Boston, but we have only lived here for about a year so we aren't quite experts yet. :) I have been to Nantucket a few times, though, and I would say it's definitely worth the ferry ride over! You would love all the little shops and charm!
ReplyDeleteI've never been....but it sure looks pretty:)
ReplyDeleteCape Cod is our go-to vacation every single year. We spend as much time as possible there. You absolutely MUST visit Chatham, you will adore the main street with all the fabulous shops and you have to stop by The Chatham Bars Inn for drinks and/or dinner on the veranda. Amazing! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI definitely suggest going to Martha's Vineyard for the day; there are ferries that leave out of Falmouth and Hyannis too.
ReplyDeleteI love the lower part of the Cape, past Hyannis, into Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet and Truro. I'd head to P-Town for the day and check out all the adorable towns on your way down!
I dream of a trip to Cape Cod. Sounds amazing! Take lots of photos so we can all live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteLove Cape Cod style and these photos are fabulous! Hope you're having a great trip. I hope you have time to come over & enter our "pick your summer pillow" giveaway this week :O)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! I'm missing the east coast, especially when I see pics like these!

If you have time take a drive down to Provence Town...worth the drive!! Absolutly check out Chatham and the Chatham Bars Inn-very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteProvincetown is a must!! The houses are to die for!!!!!! Also loved a tour around the Kennedy compound, beautiful homes!!!! A day on Nantucket was breath taking and unforgetable!!! I am from New Brusnwick Canada, and visited the Cape 2 years ago, amazing experience as I too can sum up my style by simply saying Cape Code.
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss Cape Cod. Spent my summers growing up in Orleans and playing at Nauset Beach! The last cottage shown reminds me of the cottage we had...why we didnt buy that beauty way back when is beyond us all now ;) Thanks for sharing...heading back that way mid June :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time. Take photos! Congrats to your sister.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your style, you will love Chatham. Check out the Chatham Bars Inn. Probably the most beautiful inn on the Cape.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you sister and have fun! I love Cape Cod! We honeymooned in Chatham and it was so beautiful! I hope you get to Nantucket, it is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteXO
How fantastic! You are so Cape Code, have the best time! xo
ReplyDeleteI am so behind on blog reading... I would have loved to give you some recommendations ... I've been vacationing on the Cape since I was little. We rent a beautiful home in Brewster built in the 1800s. You would adore it. I hope someone told you about Buckies - the best macaroons ever. The rail trail for biking?? One of our favorite ways to explore the Cape. The Lobster Pot? The only thing I really care for in P town. And the vineyard!!! I just love edgartown. Nantucket is charming too...we are going to be there the end of June. So glad you had such a great trip!! I sometimes wonder how we ever moved away from Boston!!
ReplyDeleteNever been to Cape Cod - would LOVE to one day.. those houses are gorgeous, I adore that style!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on this post, but you can't go wrong on the Cape...it is beautiful everywhere you go...Chatham is definitely charming and had great shops on the main street, you can also go the the fishing pier where they bring in all the 'catches of the day', as well as a great view of the ocean right by the lighthouse there...if you are there in early July, the blue hydrangeas are in bloom everywhere!! Brewster is also very interesting with the 'General Store' there, something you must see while there...Provincetown is very interesting with all the houses, beaches and shops...You will fall in love with 'Old Cape Cod'..hope you had a great time!
