On the Road

The time has come for our first road trip. We set off with ease down the interstate towards the Cape trying not to look too smug at all the 4th July commuters coming home. The first pit stop with our new wheels (nicknamed Nora the Nissan) was a Dunkin Donuts drive thru for iced hot chocolate. Oh yeah. We know how to live it up!

We have literally fallen on our feet in terms of accomodation here. We were offered a lakeside house in West Yarmouth FOC on the basis there's no hot water. We took it and we could not be more pleased with it. We only apologise to our fellow passengers onto the train to Chicago on Friday :-/

Whilst the drive wasn't long (about 2 hours) the stress of remembering to stay on the right side of the road couples with the sheer step count of the last week got the better of me today so I spent most of the afternoon napping. Thankfully Kate was more than happy chilling on the porch with her sketchbook.

Once a little refreshed we headed out to explore the Cape during 'golden hour' and even found a light house! The houses are so quaint and beautiful. I could move here tomorrow. Being out of the city is also a nice change in pace and very much welcome right now.

Tomorrow we leave the car in Falmouth, MA en route to Martha's Vineyard. How fitting!Read more
