The other nice thing about our room is that it had a two-person hot tub!

We spent a lot of time at the driving range, the video arcade, and just lying on the beach. It was SOOO relaxing, and it was only a one hour and 20 minute drive from our house. I would probably buy a timeshare here if I had kids and lived in the Boston area. The staff was super friendly, also, which is nice!

The other nice thing about Massachusetts is that people love ice cream. There were like five ice cream places within walking distance from our hotel...so we ate ice cream everyday. We also went into Hyannis and walked around and had breakfast. Basically, I loved this mini-vacation. Matt especially needed it because he has been so stressed at work.

Camping in Cape Cod









Last weekend Matt and I went camping with our friends Greg and Mekayla. It was so much fun! Cape Cod is very cute, with lots of little "clam shacks" and restaurants and stores.











We went on some nice day hikes. It is great to be able to get out of the city every once in a while. I hadn't been camping for a long time, so it was lots of fun. We went out to dinner at night, but then we came back to the camp site for a camp fire and we roasted marchmallows. Greg and Mekayla even sang folk songs...it was very festive, but I feel like we let them down by not singing with them. Matt did sing an Irish song about Tipperary (or something like that), and I was impressed. Alas, I knew no songs and did not sing!












This is a picture of Matt and I one of our hikes. I am wearing a pink fleece that I bought in China...it is perfectly functional and warm, but Matt hates it. He wants me to get rid of it, but frankly, good fleeces here inthe US are expensive, and why should I buy a new one if the old one is fine? I admit, hot pink is probably not the best color for a fleece, but in the end I just don't care.


I love the colors in this photo. I think New Englanders are used to the beach being cold...we saw people bringing a down comforter out to the sandy beach to cover up with! People were laying out in beach chairs while all bundled up!
Also, these pictures came out really small...I was experimenting with bloggin directly from Picasa, and this is how it turned out. I am too lazy now to go back and try to repost larger pictures! If you click on the photos, they will come up in a new box in giant size.
