Trip to the Cape, Pt. 1

Good evening, all ♥

Sorry I couldn't make a post until nighttime (like usual!);

I've been at the laundromat for hours and just walked in.

Anywho, we left for the Cape as planned, hitting some chilly 

and overcast weather on the Cross-Sound Ferry to New London . . .

Mom making the best of it!

We reached land around 12:30 and went on our way 

to Massachusetts, inevitably reaching the Bourne Bridge . . .

. . . and into Cape Cod
(where the weather instantly cleared up)!

We soon arrived at our inn, The 1750 Inn at Sandwich Center,

and met our extremely hospitable innkeepers, Charlie and Jan.

They immediately gave us some lovely brochures on various

activities and museums throughout the area, and we were much

obliged when Charlie even offered to make our dinner reservations

for the night! After discussing our plans during our stay,
we were then given a brief tour of the inn. . .

The dining room

Note the delicious cookies and 

chilled wine for us on the table!

The cozy living room

Beautiful!

Cute nautical-themed trinkets

Isn't that wreath gorgeous?!

♥

After the tour, we were guided up the narrow, 

but inviting, staircase to our room . . .

So pretty!

Wow... I could get use to waking up to this everyday!

Some of our travel guides

Cute little touches like this instantly win me over!

After settling in for a bit, we soon realized how famished we were!

So we jumped into our car and turned onto Route 6A, the first
place on our culinary quest being The Bee-Hive Tavern . . .

Diggin' the details already!

And it's safe to assume I dug this popcorn shrimp, too!

After lunch, we went for a walk-- and not just any old

walk-- THE walk... to My Dream Home!

The beautiful Newcomb Tavern

Now, can I have a drum roll, please?

 There it is! Two minutes away from my inn, and

twelve feet in front of my very own feet... sigh! ♥

The beautiful doorway with none other than a

gold seashell adorning it (I'm now convinced 

this house was made especially for me)

What a view...

I was also alerted of a minute feature of this dream home of mine . . .

It's right next to a pre-Revolutionary War cemetery.

Is that a plus or a negative? I guess that all depends
on whether or not I'd see a headless solider
walking around my bedroom at night
(personally, I'd still live there anyway!)

The cemetery did have some fascinating graves, regardless . . .
(click photos for better views)

The first cemetery I've ever seen on the water!

Whose canoe is that, I wonder?

Mom and I, being big history buffs,

enjoyed browsing here immensely!
