Ok, it’s not like I’ve ever been to Cape Cod before. But I thought the title of this post sounded nice. My family all attended a wedding on Cape Cod this weekend, the first time most of us had ever been there. The weather was astonishingly warm and sunny for mid-September, a lot of the family was able to attend (although we certainly missed those who couldn’t make it - congrat to my cousin for her beautiful baby girl), and we were given an amazing place to stay that was right on the ocean. An enormous home that sat right on the beach. What a great way to wake up in the morning! I later looked up the value of the home (using Zillow, a great resource for home buyers) and to my not-so-great surprise, it was valued at over $3 milliion! It was a beautiful home in a beautiful location, and we were so thankful to the owners for letting us stay there.

Needless to say, we had a great time, and the drive wasn’t too terrible (about 7 hours with stops and meals). We rented a minivan, the first time I’d ever really used one. It had a built-in DVD player, which REALLY kept the E-man happy! I can’t tell you how sad I was to drop that van off. My brother even told me I was officially an old man when I announced how much I would love to own a minivan. Let’s see how he feels when he has to cart around everything he owns (a consequence of having children, as you all know)! Well, here are just a few pictures of our time there.
