Hi ya! I thought I’d do a quick two part recap on our trip to the Cape today & Wednesday! Instead of rambling on and on about each day I’m going to give an abbreviate alphabetical version of our trip. Before I do, here are the basics:
K and I left Sunday morning with my parents for a 9 day trip. We spend Sun. night in Greenwich, CT and M/T/W in Dennis Port, MA with a quick day trip to Nantucket on Tues. Thursday afternoon through Friday morning was in Boston with the remainder of Friday & Sat/Sun spent in Loudon and Lincoln, NH at the NASCAR race. We drove home (+12 hours) on Monday.
A – Ascend. On Thursday we climbed the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston. 294 steps in +80 degree weather!
B – Biking. We biked over 18 miles while on Nantucket! It was exhausting.
C – Connecticut. We spent our first night of vaca. in Greenwich, Connecticut- just as a resting point.
D – Dogs. I missed our babies terribly but I tried to pet at least two dogs every day on the trip. Ha!
E – Excursion. We traveled in my Dad’s three-row, black Ford excursion. For over 1,600 miles total.
F – Fred. This was my first family vacation without my little brother 😦
G – Good weather. We had mostly warm, rain-free weather all week! At times it was so hot but overall it was fantastic.
H – Humidity. Seriously, you just can’t escape it!
I – Island. It was so fun to introduce my parents to the Island of Nantucket!
J – Juice Bar. The Juice Bar is a delicious ice cream shop on Nantucket!
K – Kyle. It was another one of those whirlwind, jam-packed vacations & K was such a trooper.
L – Lincoln & Loudon, New Hampshire. We stayed in one city & watched the races in the other!
M – Massachusetts. We spent four days in MA and this was my firs trip to Boston!
You can find the second half of the alphabet here! 🙂

I love the alphabet idea!
Biking is SO tiring. It ensures a solid night of sleep, that’s for sure.
My best friend used to live right across from the Bunker Hill monument.

I started in on a recap but I wanted to find a way to switch it up a little 🙂 Umm, that area is GORGEOUS! I can’t even imagine living so close to history! I bet her 4th of Julys were awesome!

If you ever did find a place to escape the humidity, everyone would swarm it.
Thumbs up for all the exercise & moving on vacation 🙂

Thanks! I wanted to switch it up a little 🙂 Boston was fun but I wouldn’t call it a coastal town- definitely fun to visit, though! Nantucket is the quintessential cute coastal NE town! Go go go!

You know what’s funny? We took thousands of steps a day and I biked 18 miles… But the night before we left on vacation I had a wedding planning event and took over 22,000 steps! Which is WAY more than I took on vacation- hahaha 😀

I love this idea of recapping your trip with the Alphabet. It would be such a good bucket list idea to fill the alphabet with all the trips adventures. If that makes any sense. hehe
I can’t imagine biking for 18 miles – Hopefully the sun wasn’t too hot. 🙂

That would be an awesome bucket list idea!! And it was SO HOT. It was miserable… haha. But I felt pretty accomplished afterward 🙂

Sounds like you guys got some moving around in on this trip. I love a vacation where you get to be active some of the days. It also makes you more tired by the end of your trip x). I have never been up north much (I’m in Delaware) except to Boston, but it’s so cool there. Totally different than what I’m used to.

I wish we’d have made it all the way to Maine! We’ll save that for another trip, though, I guess 🙂 We were SO exhausted by the end of our walking days. It made for a tiring vacation but some very restful nights!
