I got back Sunday evening from a lovely weekend in Cape Cod with the Scoobs! We did all those quintessentially vacation-y things: lazy mornings laying out on the beach (still too cold to really go in), and walking to the end of the road to buy ice cream and hot dogs from a couple of infamous local establishments. We also set up our lawn chairs in the driveway to listen to music, enjoy some fruity beverages, and watch Jason, Matt, Geoff, and Julie play whiffle ball in the street. The song of the weekend was Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone, along with a reprisal of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline from our last summer vacay together in Tybee Island.

We were all staying in a little cottage in Dennisport, MA, courtesy of Cris' family, and it was totally adorable. Lizzi cooked us some amazing food in that little kitchen, and we were all able to fit around the dining table on the screened in porch to enjoy our food family style. The best ice cream in the neighborhood definitely was from Sundae School, a classic ice cream parlor that served up locally-made ice cream and fresh fruit sundaes to die for. Before we all left on Sunday, we stopped in for some seriously delicious hot dogs from the Dog House, another local institution.

Now I'm back at work, tired, slightly tanned, but missing everyone a lot. Hopefully we'll do it again next summer!
