Daily Walks on The Cape

Daily Walks

When we went to the Cape this Summer we would take a daily walk. This morning we took our walk and it was such a nice and calm morning. The water was so calm and flat. There was this one wooden boat that was blue and the reflection was almost perfect. I snapped a few extra photos of it.

Wooden Boat

I love the look of this photo and the framing. It was nearly the last boat in the water. The way it was reflecting was really amazing to me. I try and frame things naturally with little cropping but I did upload this photo to Instagram and gave it a little boost with filters. It is also cropped and zoomed a bit. What do you think?

I also took a photo from the opposite viewpoint. This one captures the sun and the clouds overheard And then you can see two boats.

We had a nice day on the Cape. Hung out and relaxed and then tonight we watched Jingle All The Way and had a visit from Auntie Tara and uncle Erik. The kids were thrilled.

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.
