It is so good to be back on the Cape.
I love being steps away from the beach.

I love seeing my girls’ hair get curlier by the minute in the ocean air.
I love the weathered cedar siding, everywhere you look.

I love watching my children’s childhood memories being created, unfolding in beautiful ways.

This is my magical place.
Our menu is quite fluid this week. I love vacation.
Saturday (last night):
-Our annual Sweet Tomatoes pizza binge
Sunday (tonight):
- My mom is making Chicken Croissants tonight
As for the rest of the week…my mom is planning on making fajitas another night, I’m sure Nate’s mom will do a fantastic cookout. We’ll definitely be eating at Seafood Sam’s. Beyond that, we’ll play it by ear.
Please share your menu for the week! You need to step in while I’m off relaxing on the beach. Thanks for being so responsible and stuff.
