Cape Cod and Nantucket

After our visits to Cape Cod and Nantucket, we started wondering why we ever go on vacation in hot locations. That area is positively refreshing this time of the year and I never walked anywhere without feeling a great breeze. Believe it or not, Thomas was completely fine without any AC! It was a very relaxing time. Here is another photo tour:

 

The streets in Nantucket were like something out of a movie.

Thomas got to go on an awesome fishing trip with our brother-in-law. They caught lots of striped bass and sea bass. We cooked the sea bass in a pan with a little butter and shallots...pure bliss.

We got to celebrate my sister's 28th birthday together. We haven't been together on her birthday since I was probably in the 6th grade. And we didn't even like each other then! Good thing we not only like each other now, but we happen to look a little alike, eh?

Thomas literally begged our waiter for this bread. It went like this:

Thomas: ya'll that crusty French bread looks amazing, do you think they're going to throw out those leftover loaves?

The rest of us: yes, Thomas, all restaurants throw out the leftover bread at the end of the night.

Thomas: Waiter, could I please have some of that leftover bread behind the counter? It looks too yummy and delicious to throw away.

Waiter: (giggling) um, sure?

This was a HILL of herbs in Nantucket. Needless to say, sister and I went crazy and nearly died for joy. And jealousy. And then we called our mother.

Jesse's sister took us all to the beach in her Jeep. You can drive your car on the beach there! It was one of our favorite parts of the trip.

We highly, highly, highly recommend taking a trip to the Cape Cod area soon!
