The sweet smell of the ocean assails your nostrils as you approach the bridge. The temperature is a good 10 degrees cooler than the city. Memories of summers past linger as you relax and look forward to the days ahead.
Packing up to go to the beach, hot dogs at "The Barnicle", sunbathing on the sandy shores, trips to "Four Seas", clamming, quahogging, oystering, where and when permitted, strawberry picking, rosa rugosa along the shores, white picket fences, blue hydrangeas, Cape Cod clambakes and boat rides to Sandy Neck are just a few of the treasured memories. Have you started yours yet?
The Fourth of July is tomorrow. Our grown children, spouses and their children will all gather for the little parade down by the "Avenues" beach in West Hyannisport where the neighborhood gathers for coffee, juice and donuts as well as some face painting and more. Later there's cookouts and fireworks and tired children who have just begun their special summer memories which they are soon to cherish.
Ready to start your "Cape Cod Memories To Treasure"?
