To round out my trip to Cape Cod, Mike and I knew we had to do something sea-worthy. Since we didn't have a day at the beach due to the weather, we took a leisurely drive toward the coastline and came across a small nook of tall grass separated by a tiny beach. Littered throughout it were these clam shells. I've seen sea shells a bunch of times, but not as many, and as pretty, as these.
Don't ask me what these are for... but they're cool, right?
On our last day in Cape Cod, we went whale watching in Hyannis. On our first outing to the cape in 2010, we did this, and it was amazing. The whales breached out of the water Free Willy style - it can only be described as awesome. Hoping to replicate the experience, we headed out at 9 a.m. on to get our Moby Dick on.
Part of any boat ride should be gorgeous views, and this one of a small coastline is it. This small island actually has NO running water or electricity, and is the last of it's kind on the cape. Talk about kicking it old school. Then again, with views like this - who cares if you can't plug your flat iron in?
After some searching, we finally came across finback and humpback whales! Out of all things you could do on vacation, I'd like to think going whale watching sounds pretty cherry.
This whale, named Nile for the distinctive Nile River outline on her tale, came up to bubble feed a couple of times.
But the best part about my vacation? Just getting to spend time with my husband.
And the shopping...
