Last Beach Walk Of the Summer

Last Beach Walk Of the Summer

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00614

The Summer is over and we enjoyed ourselves on the Cape a lot. Despite there being a pandemic and having to quarantine throughout the year we were fortunate enough to be able to be down the Cape and visit with my parents multiple times. This was the first year in a long time that I have had Labor Day Weekend off. In the past we have gone to King Richard’s Faire but that isn’t happening this year. Instead we went down for a few days of rest and relaxation by the beach. We had beautiful weather and so Allison and I were able to walk each morning along Great Bay which is her happy place. Even when she wasn’t feeling too up to walking she still wanted to make sure that she got to walk along that stretch. It is a beautiful walk.

The beach was a bit crazy today because there was a Trump rally on the water so about 100 boats drove by with their Trump banners and such. Some people waved from the beach and supported them and others did not. It was a crazy thing to round the corner at the beach and see hundreds of boats out on the water and have no idea why. I immediately thought Trump rally because of the whole my boat is bigger than your boat mentality. And wow, I was right. The rally went by twice and then was gone, we enjoyed a rather peaceful beach day despite that bit of excitement.

The kids enjoyed their beach time, Andy is a fish who never wants to get out of the water. Eva is spending a little less time at the beach overall. She is now old enough to walk back to the house and stay if she’d rather do that. She found other ways to occupy her time.

We had a nice meal tonight of some boneless pork ribs that we made on the grill. It was a nice night and then we walked along the beach and got a photo of the kids together on the beach. We did not get or Woods Hole photo after the Science School cookout out this time around but this was nice too.

Ice Cream for Dinner, A Summer Tradition

Ice Cream for Dinner

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00576

At least once a Summer we do ice cream for dinner. Allison heard about a place that takes fresh donuts and makes ice cream sandwiches out of them. The place is called Ice Cream Sandwich in Sandwich, Ma. We looked it up online and found some very interesting commotion about the place. Let’s just say that there is a bit of drama happening.

Despite that we went for a drive back down to the Bourne bridge and then over to the Sagamore to find Ice Cream Sandwich. We found it and were lucky to be there early since there were no other patrons. We could take our time ordering. I went with an ice cream sandwich in a cookie with cookies and cream ice cream and unicorn sprinkles all around the edge.

We told the kids that they could get anything they wanted. Andy opted for a cup of watermelon sherbet and Eva for a waffle cone of ice cream. I was a bit jealous of her waffle cone because it was still warm. I do enjoy waffle cones. We’ll have to come back sometime for the donuts as there is a little donut truck on the property as well.
