Let there be lobster

Now those are delicious tacos. Note from my dear wife Karen and I’s walk-for-dinner visit to the Ocean House Beach Bar: If you know the Cape Cod temperature is, say, 62 degrees when you’re sitting in the pleasant cottage, do not think that your shorts, long-sleeve T-shirt and vest will be enough at the water’s…

A good name catches my attention

Always. As we four Cape Cod adventurers strolled the main drag in Wellfleet, I kept my eyes open and iPhone camera ready for interesting captures. Good store name, Curiouser and Curiouser, thought I. OK, we entered. The single corner of available chocolates made the sandwich sign a bit of a bait-and-switch, thought terrific daughter Elisabeth…

Artistic trimming

I suddenly wanted a pina colada. As we four Cade Cod adventurers strolled with cherished rescue mutt Ellie around the sweet cottage, of course a certain tree on a neighboring lawn caught me eye. That’s one heck of a trim job, I called out to my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance…

Brite idea

Exactly. All three visits to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass., we’ve wandered into the display inside the big barn in the middle of the center grassy field. They’ve changed this piece or that, my dear wife Karen and I have noticed. This art reminds me of the old toy called, I believe,…

My father drove us in one of these

Let’s go for it. The past two years, we walked right past the building that screamed <em>Come see the old cars</em> before we exited the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass. This year the Cape Cod adventurers said, yes, please. Now that’s a beauty. Good choice. These beauties are pristine! Woodie wagon! The two…

Did I mention the lovely Cape flowers?

Open says-a us. So many different species made we four Cape Code adventurers gape as we wound through the many paths of the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass. Different stages of purple … and not a dandelion. I hope my iPhone photography provides even a snippet of the wonder that my dear wife…

Artists still shine in garden spotlight

Branching out. In our third straight visit to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass., we discovered the curators are consistently fantastic at discovering artists to install their pieces among the paths. We Cape Cod adventurers appreciated their creativity. Wings of art. I made sure to stop to capture the beauty, and my dear…

These flower gardens in Sandwich still make us feel full

The Cape Cod adventurers chose the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend for a return trip to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass. We happily toured the expansive grounds together during Rhododendron Festival in 2021. My dear wife Karen and I returned ourselves last year. We found the state of blooming from species to…

The Wellfleet connection

No cell bars required. Of course we Cape Cod adventurers parked and walked the quaint Main Street of Wellfleet before we ventured to The Beachcomber. I noticed that the Verizon folks thought the sidewalk in front of their storefront was the right place for a pay phone. Considering that George Two, Sue and I had…

We like that Beachcomber feeling

Worth the wait. A friendly guy by the name of Andrew my dear wife Karen and I chatted with our first night during this year’s Cape Cod getaway asked us if we’d ever experienced The Beachcomber in Wellfleet. The kids thought they’d like to try a joint like that. Windswept. Food and drink on the…
