the cape!
i've been on the cape for a week and a half now.
vacation has been pretty relaxing so far. i haven't done much but read harry potter and sit in the sun. jess came up on monday and stayed through today. kim came up for the day today. we've had lots of good food (with the exception being dinner last night - ugh worst wait staff / kitchen ever). it rained a bit last week but the weather has been perfect so far this week. tedy bruschi (patriots player) has been sighted around the town that i'm in right now but i haven't bumped into him yet. i suspect he's back in boston though since the patriots training camp starts friday.
today was probably the best beach day i've ever had up here. i knew it would be good when we were driving up route 6 to marconi and the park service sign said "Marconi: LOT FULL." in my entire 22 years of existence, my parents swear that the sign has never said Marconi was full. normally most people would see that and go, shit, can't park at the beach. but my daddy kept going cause we have a season pass and there's usually a fair amount of lot turnover. didn't have any trouble finding a space and i couldn't believe how perfect the water looked as we were walking down the steps from the dunes. it was almost as clear looking as the water in the bahamas (ok so that's a slight exaggeration but for the cape this was amazing). there was virtually no seaweed in the water and the waves were just about perfect. i didn't get in the positively balmy 60ºF water for that long since jess was screaming her head off at how cold it was and kim got thrown by a wave pretty much the second she got in so i hung out on the sand for most of the day. i will probably hit up race point tomorrow and go running in the second i hit the sand cause i didn't get enough of an ocean fix today.
i love the cape and don't really want this vacation to end. at least my next trip out of baltimore is a visit to the pacific northwest so i can see a certain someone who i haven't seen in entirely too long.
