Falling for New England: Cape Cod, Massachusetts

This time last year, we were spending a week on Cape Cod. Summertime traffic to the Cape is a pain, so after crossing the Sagamore Bridge, we enjoyed a brief respite at the Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center. Run by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center is an excellent place to stretch our legs, learn about the history of the canal and watch boats go by.

After checking into our timeshare in the mid-Cape, we went to our favorite place - Kreme and Kone in W. Dennis - for an early dinner. Visions of fried seafood danced in our heads as we headed over. We haven't been in a few years, and were afraid the pandemic might have disrupted their business. We've never been so happy to see a full parking lot and long lines at the counter! 

Fried clams with bellies are the best in New England!

On the way back to the timeshare, we swung over to Parker's River Beach to watch the sunset. A perfect ending to our first day of a week-long vacation.

Have a great rest of the summer. It's 92 degrees F (feels like 102) in Chattanooga today. Stay cool. y'all!
