Cape Cod 2015

Chatham, MA is where we spent 6 days at the end of September. We took a ship to Martha’s Vineyard, a boat to see the seals, had a family photo shoot, drove up to Provincetown and ate lobstah rolls and chowda! The weather was sunny and cool and we took advantage of it by spending as much time as possible in the outdoors. Ava took her first bike trailer ride in Provincetown. We were lucky enough to see the whales from the shore. We hiked up and through the sand dunes and had many great laughs. We celebrated Harlow’s doljanchi while on this vacation. She went straight for the stethoscope when it was time to predict her future. We may be calling her Dr. Jacobs soon!

Arriving in Chatham

We flew out to Cape Cod with Grandma and settled into our cottage in Chatham. Lobster rolls and chowda at the Chatham Squire, rocking chairs on the porch and hydrangeas everywhere.
