It took me forever to go through all the pictures from this past weekend in Harwich Port - Cape Cod. Going through them also made me want to go back, or at least visit another town on the Cape.
We all rented a house across from the beach with a huge yard. (Yards are something you appreciate much more once you've lived in NYC.) The house didn't have AC, only heat which ended up being fantastic. We slept with all the windows open and woke up to birds chirping, NOT honking horns or car alarms. Again, something you really appreciate once you live in the city. We spent our days on the beach, visiting local restaurants for Lobster Rolls, grilling out, drinking wine, having a clam bake, playing games, charades, talking, getting local ice cream, and eating blueberry pies. Not too bad for a quick weekend getaway!
The beaches were narrow, private and quiet. The weather was perfect. And the food was fantastic. One of the highlights was the clam bake we had catered on Saturday night by
Swan River. By the way, it is
not a lobster bake like we called it, even though each person gets their own lobster
. Later that night some of us had a craving for the local
ice cream shop named, Schoolhouse Ice Cream we kept passing. And yet again, A+. Another recommendation would be a waterfront restaurant called,
Brax Landing. It was directly across the little harbor on the side of our house and had some great views and Lobster Rolls. We went again for brunch on our way out of town and I have to say this could be skipped. It's a buffet, but nothing special.
I'm already planning our next weekend trip!
