So I had a lot of good food (mostly seafood) on the Cape, but my favorites were steamers, fried oysters and hot lobster rolls! Yuumm. (Though the black raspberry ice cream from Sundae School was also excellent) We had lobsters and steamers the second night along with some grilled veggies and steak. I liked the lobster and steamers so much that I actually didn’t have room for steak… which says a lot! Sam and I had to escape inside as soon as we finished our food because the mosquitos were out in full force and I’m a total wimp about bugs. Unfortunately, bugs /really/ like me.

I decided I was brave enough to bring my big camera on the boat to the beach, so I tried to be better about taking photos! Honestly, I didn’t switch to my 135L because I didn’t want to switch lenses on the beach… and I probably could have gotten almost as good results with my Fuji! I will admit I am still more comfortable with my Mark III though.

A couple of us decided to cross over from the Bay side of the Cape to the Atlantic side, where the waves are much bigger and there’s more potential for fun rocks. Sam and Ethan spent their time racing the waves while Sam’s dad and I combed the beach for white round rocks. There’s something very peaceful and relaxing about looking for the perfect rocks!

We headed back well before the sun set this time, but we still managed to enjoy a stunning sunset from the house before dinner.

Those flowers on the table were leftovers from the backdrop I made for my sister’s wedding. I brought them with us on the flight to give to Sam’s mom, and they actually turned out to be the perfect colors for the Cape house!

I didn’t get any photos of us eating steamers the first time because I was too busy enjoying myself and didn’t want to get butter all over my camera.. but I didn’t want to miss out this time, so here are a few photos of Sam eating steamers.
