My friend posted these pictures of the state of affairs back home this morning.
SNOW!
And lots of it!
Needed to wear boots over to the car.
YUCK!!!!
This is what we woke up to here in Massachusetts - blue skies and sunshine - by far my preference of the two.
Jason went and worked out in the gym and I worked on my blog.
I kept it up the whole time that we were in Wisconsin last month and I've been trying to do the same on this trip.
I enjoy it so much more when I'm not playing catch up.
I picked this pumpkin blanket up at Walmart yesterday and I cracked it open so I could use it last night.
It isn't very thick but it is nice and soft.
There was a Marshall's nearby so we went there after we checked out.
I bought a couple of tops that were on clearance.
One of them is a black sweater with rhinestones around the neckline.
I quite like it and think I might wear it to the Christmas party.
We were heading to Cape Cod today but we wanted coffee's for the road so we found a spot nearby, a place called Sturbridge Coffee House.
It was in an old house.
It looked like a nice little spot, they had it decorated up for Halloween.
I love this framed picture they had on the shelf.
This cute sign was in the bathroom.
It was lined up like crazy - seems like a good sign to me.
It was a bit of a wait but hey, we are on vacation so no timeline that we have to be on.
There were lots of options to choose from.
I got the Dover Demon - it was pretty good.
I got the Sweet & Salty which was a french toast bagel with cinnamon cream cheese, bacon and egg.
Jason got the bagels and lox.
We did hit the road after we got our food.
We also got a slice of Blueberry Crumb Cake and it was very good.
At first the GPS told us it was a 3 hour 45 minute drive - WHAT!!!
We had it set up to avoid tolls because you need a pass and we don't have one but we decided to just go through the tolls and pay for it so that dropped the drive down to 2 hours 20 minutes which was far better!
We took the highway so it wasn't as scenic as the drive yesterday but we did see some fall foliage.
Not all the trees are in their full glory yet but lots are.
The girls called us just as we were crossing the bridge over to Cape Cod.
They were excited about the snow and wanted to get out and 'make a snow fight'.
We headed straight to our hotel which was in Hiyannis, Courtyard Resort.
Kind of old school but I like it.
I like all the red, white and blue banners along the balconies.
Our room was cute, had a table and chairs and a little balcony.
A little kitchen area.
It had a pool and a hot tub too.
I was really tired after the drive and just wanted to decompress a little so Jason went out for a walk without me looking for a trail to maybe run on later.
Church.
Festive doorway - ready for Fall.
Light balls in the trees.
The red, white and blue banners were all over the place.
HyArts cultural district.
Statue.
Boat shelf.
The harbour.
Halloween decorations.
Main St. - look at that tree - love the color.
I like the signs on the road.
The main street area where all the shopping and restaurants are was right next to our hotel so when he got back, we went for a walk together.
There were several churches just on this one road.
One had all of the fish in front of it.
There were lots of nice little restaurants along the street - there was a party going on at this one.
Artwork on the sidewalk.
Footprints.
Seahorse - this was in front of a store called the Silver Seahorse.
This was in front of an ice cream shop.
What a great idea.
Cute decorations inside of a store.
This little scarecrow was adorable.
Sea glass art.
More sidewalk art.
The mermaid necklace was cute.
This one was cool.
Jaws was filmed here in Cape Cod so it's kind of a thing around here.
Sharks everywhere.
I actually bought a shark Christmas tree ornament as a souvenir.
Shadow person beside a fence.
People were lined up for this restaurant but what interested me was the tree in the background there - what a weird looking tree.
This one had a statue to match the name.
Kind of weird to think that I've always wanted to come here and now here I am walking along the street in Cape Cod.
A bunch of the ladies here were wearing witch hats, wonder why?
The museum was closed when we walked by and it isn't open on Sundays so we won't get a chance to check it out.
I would have liked to check out the JFK museum.
The Kennedy family have a massive compound here near Hyannis so a lot of history in the area.
Another statue - I quite like this one.
You could take this path down to the water but we didn't go that way.
We were hungry so we wanted to eat first and by the time we were done, it was dark so maybe we'll check it out tomorrow.
We decided to get Mexican food and went to a spot called El Mariachi Loco.
I got a passionfruit drink.
Jason got chicken enchiladas with beans and rice.
I got the birria tacos.
Supper!
View of the pool from our balcony.
Back at the hotel, Jason had a nap and I got to working on my trave journal.
I finished up my page from yesterday - I'd picked up some tape today so I could tape the postcard in.
I wanted to be able to flip it back and forth.
Then I did a couple pages for today.
One for the morning.
Then one for this afternoon when we made it to Hyannis.
Reached my step goal today.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
