Cape Cod this past 4th of July was really great. I really needed a vacation because I seriousely relished every single second and appreciated it - just reading a magazine on the plane or sleeping until 8 am or taking a shower - all luxuries that us moms rarely have. We went to a Boston Red Sox game which is my husband's favorite team and he had never been before, so this was a huge event for him! We did the famous Duck Tour and quacked our way through the city enduring dirty looks right and left from the locals. (Well, to their credit, they were commuting home from work and stressed and tired from the work week and we were well...blocking their traffic lanes and quacking at them....how annoying can we get?) We stayed in Falmouth (not Foul Mouth) and it was a lovely home. We enjoyed the best fireworks show over the water, lots of yummy New England food (fish and chips, lobster salad sandwiches, cape cod chips, ice cream, etc)., whale watching in Provincetown, and an awesome day in Nantucket. One thing we could have lived without was these enormous horse flies on the beach - they were violent!
