summer so far....

Haven't been baking much. Since we had almost 9 months of winter, I promised myself during those 9 months of torture I would take more time out in the summer to enjoy as much as I can. I dearly love cape cod, as much as I complain I don't (in the winter) I do love it here and would miss it dearly when we finally move back to cali. This post is some of the things I've been up to this summer, so far....

Been spending as much time as I can at the ocean, the marina, the beach, anything ocean related. I don't own a boat, but have friends that do--good friends. Here is hyannis harbor--jam packed with boats.



Can you see off in the distance the Hyline Ferry coming into the small harbor? Oy! It's a tiny harbor too, but those steamships are able to rotate 180 degrees as opposed to backing up and pulling forward. It's really cool to see.





But once you're out of the harbor it's kind of nice. Can you imagine living in this house? Seriously great views. Cold ass cold in the winter though. Would you do it? I would.



Love the solitude the middle of the ocean can give to you.



Corporation Beach in Dennis, MA at low tide is the place to be for long walks IN the water--you can walk out for a while before you hit deep water.





Head over to cape cod national seashore to see the giant seals. And I mean giant. These seals were huge, about 7 of them that day. I wish I could have gotten better shots for you guys but I only have an iphone. I felt bad about having just an iphone because the day I was there a lot of people with big fancy cameras were all set up waiting for the seals to come to the surface. These seals were quick and you need a fast camera to capture them. I saw them but the photo didn't take so well. The arrow is where one seal is.





Some swell on the cape.



The Nauset coast guard station has their swimsuits hanging out to dry. I just love this. And right around the corner were the surfboards.



These signs are new and are everywhere at the national seashore. Which is good because the rip current is powerful.



Traffic is awful here. We only have 2 lanes and two ways off the island.







But once you cross the cape cod canal you're on way to less traffic.



Cape Cod Grecian festival: ate my weight in greek food. Honeyballs. Oh yes.



A gyro every hour is ok with me.



Another round? Sure, why not!



Fresh, homemade baklava. Sweet sarah this is the real deal.



Ready for ice cream. I'm always ready for ice cream. I wonder how many quarts of ice cream I've eaten so far this summer? Yeah, let's not.



I'm thankful to have a husband that has no problem sharing his ice cream with me when I've devoured mine.



It's been hot here, even for cape cod.



Stay cool everyone!
