MASS Recap- part two

The Cape time of our vacation was somewhat predictable: lots of ice cream, lots of John's relatives, and lots of avoiding many of John's closest relatives. I wish I could love Cape Cod.

For Elliot, it is an island full of snooty rich people. (And the water is darn cold!)

Ha! I loved your post. "and lots of avoiding many of John's closest relatives"...sooo funny! Gary hates spending time with relatives and tries to avoid most of them when we are at a family event.

So funny! As someone from here - I don't think the Cape is cold - I know nothing different! What part of the cape where you on?

Dennis. East Dennis-- bay side. And that means it's warmer than the Dennisport (ocean) side. I'd really be outta luck then.
