We'll have our 15 month old with us and are staying in Eastham. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1668180 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:56:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 1668180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Other people have better advice than me, but just wanted to chime in that we got married in East Falmouth! We spend more time in Brewster though. </p> <p>@rachiecakes: We should totally have a Cape meet up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1668049 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:37:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1668049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1668019 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:28:29 +0000 septca 1668019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I don't have any Falmouth recs because I have never been there. My husband grew up on the Cape, so we go back every summer (usually stay in Chatham, which I LOVE - so good for toddlers).</p> <p>As far as activities, there is a very cool paved walking/bike path along the canal. I also like the boardwalk in Sandwich and Heritage Gardens (where DH and I almost got married!) - it's a beautiful place and there is a lot for kids. It's a requirement that you go to a Cape League game as well if the games have started by the time you are there. :wink: (We rent a place within walking distance of the ball park because that's my husband's favorite part of the Cape during the summer.)</p> <p>For places to eat, I love the lobster sandwich (and ice cream) at 4 Seas in Centerville, and Seafood Sam's in Sandwich is a fun place to get casual seafood on the water (there are lots of boats to watch, which is fun for kids). If you get a "date night," Del Mar in Chatham is *delicious* - farm to table type menu. There isn't a lot of great food on the Cape, so this place is a must-go for us.</p> <p>In terms of water and weather, the south-facing beaches (Nantucket Sound) are much warmer than the north-facing (bay) beaches or the east-facing (ocean) beaches. The water will likely still be pretty cold in June (actually, it's always fairly cold, but that's the Cape...), but kids don't seem to care. If you can find a good pond beach near you, that will be your best bet for warmer water and kid swimming.</p> <p>I am getting so excited about our trip thinking of recs for you! I hope you have a GREAT time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667972 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:12:36 +0000 Mamaof2 1667972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone - I am writing this all down :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667969 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:12:11 +0000 rachiecakes 1667969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @bpcmarj lives there :) and my parents have a house in North Truro. Meet up? ;)</p> <p>It's beautiful! Lots of things to see &amp; do. Hopefully it'll warm up in a couple weeks, it's been pretty cold. I'd suggest visiting Provincetown &amp; Wellfeet. And Truro Vineyards, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667958 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:07:00 +0000 Sunshine1810 1667958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always used to vacation in Falmouth! I recommend Sundae School for ice cream as well, yum! We used to go to the Clam Shack in Falmouth a lot because it was in walking distance from where we stayed. Definitely just a quick, seafood place, but the food was always good.</p> <p>Woods Hole is fun. Also, if you have time, taking the high speed ferry to Nantucket is definitely worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667935 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:57:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 1667935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: if you go in August it's refreshing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667929 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:56:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 1667929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yay fun trip!! I love Falmouth! We are also going in two weeks - but to Brewster. </p> <p>Def check out Woods Hole - very cute! We stayed near there a couple years ago.... Let me check my work computer too to see if I have any other recs!</p> <p>And yeah, agreed about the weather. You never know, could be 80 could be 50! But more than likely chilly, esp at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667919 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:53:33 +0000 petunia354 1667919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to go to Sundae School every year as a kid when we vacationed there, but haven't been in ages. We never made it to Race Point beach in Provincetown but it was recommended by many people. We enjoyed walking through Chatham, but it is a little "touristy" as far as the Cape goes. We also loved spending time on the national seashore. We must have seen close to a dozen sea lions swimming right close to the shore :)</p> <p>@bpcmarj should be able to give you lots of good recs!!</p> <p>Have fun, it's really a magical place :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667913 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:51:46 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1667913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: ice cream!! And i'm not entirely sure if you can get in the water...it might be too cold. My fear of the water being too cold to get in is what has kept me from going to cape cod for my whole life lol ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667891 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:46:56 +0000 T-Mom 1667891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So jealous...

Ice cream shop?</p> <p>Good to know about the sweatshirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667867 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:40:21 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1667867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been but everyone i know that goes cannot shut up about sundae school</p> <p>Also bring warm stuff to wear on the beach (like a sweatshirt). My parents were cold on the beach this time last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667861 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:38:56 +0000 septca 1667861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where are you staying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-or-vacation-in-cape-cod#post-1667852 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:35:29 +0000 Mamaof2 1667852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are heading there in 2 weeks and I cannot wait!!!</p> <p>Any good restaurants or things we should check out? </p>
