It Came and Went So Quickly #vacationweek

Why do vacations have to end?!? 

Seriously though, if my husband didn't have to work and we had an endless amount of money wouldn't that be great!! haha I can dream;)

We started our vacation week with building Legos at the library. B and my hubby had a good time building things while I chased Baby E around and made sure he didn't destroy any books! 

Then that night we dropped the boys off at the babysitters and went out on a date! We went to Tenoch Mexican in the North End. I had the Carne Asada Tacos and they were delicious! We saw the Cookie Monstah truck while we were walking to dinner and I knew my husband needed to try them! (I had had them one time before.) It was such a good food night with my favorite person!

We decided to go to Cape Cod for part of our vacation week because everyone talks about it and we needed to check it out for ourselves! We were told the Whydah Pirate Museum was good, so that was our first stop. This 1717 sunken pirate ship was discovered in 1984.

Then we went to Seagull Beach which is on the outer side (ocean side) of The Cape. It was pretty windy but the boys had fun in the sand!
After the beach we went to Lobster Pot and ate baked lobster and clam chowder! We don't really love eating seafood but we have to take advantage of it while we live here!

The next day we hung out at Mayflower Beach. It was the prettiest beach I've ever been to! The sand was perfect, the water was a good temperature, and there was a slight breeze. This beach was on the inner side of The Cape.

We started out pretty close to the water and by the time we left we had to move at least 100 feet back because of the tide rising.

The cottage we were staying at had so many beach toys that we were told we could use! B loved the wagon!

B stayed pretty clean and Baby E was COVERED in sand! It's so interesting to see the differences in their personalities come out!
After playing at the beach we went to dinner and called it a day!

The next day, on our way home from The Cape, we stopped in Plymouth, MA to see Plymouth Rock. We didn't stay long because we really only stopped to see the rock!
Favorite parts of the trip:
Brenen- Loved seeing and touching real pirate silver
Lindsey- Mayflower Beach
B- Playing with a spinner at the cottage:)
Baby E- Eating sand

What a great week!
 We are counting down the days until the next one! April can't come soon enough!

Back to real life

We had such a fun spring break and I would love to always be able to ride bikes to the beach every day!

Here are some of the things we did on our vacation:

We went dolphin watching one afternoon! The boat ride was an hour and a half long but we didn't see any Dolphins until the very end, so they let us watch them for a while before we went back to the harbor.
We went on a nature walk and Baby B loved it! We also saw a few alligators:)
Harbour Town Lighthouse
We went to Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. It is an old boarding house turned into a Southern style restaurant. The only thing is that it only fits about 70 people and you have to wait in line 1-2 hours to get in because it's so popular plus it's only open from 11-2pm Monday-Friday. President Obama has even eaten there, but I'm sure he didn't have to wait in line. 
The food was pretty good but we mainly went there for the experience.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was huge!

Happy Monday!
