The best of friends |
A few weeks back, we took a mini-vacation to the lovely Cape
Cod, staying in the village of Orleans. Three years ago, we spent a week in the
same cottage, and it’s amazing how much can change in what seems like so
little time. In the past couple years, I’ve changed jobs and industries, switched
neighborhoods, cities, and recently, states, and gone from living with two of
my best friends to living with my very best friend and boyfriend. And that
doesn’t touch on becoming an auntie to the most fabulous 2 year-old in the
whole wide world. Needless to say, we had some nostalgic spots to revisit and
show off to Steven, Zack and darling Colin, all who were visiting Cape Cod for
the first time.

Highlights of the trip include my hole-in-one during our
family mini-golf tournament (I’m choosing to forget that I still managed to
come in last place despite my epic shot), watching my mom try a
moonshine-soaked cherry, a couple dangerously competitive games of badminton and
ping-pong, and introducing Colin to his very first lobster. My family has been
traveling to the cape since I can remember, and to me, it’s a place of ultimate
relaxation. Other than the beach, a select few flea markets and the fish
market, itineraries are open and the days fly by. For now, I will just
concentrate on my goals for next year: stay longer and figure out how to beat
Steven at ping-pong.
