Cape Cod, Massachusetts holds a special place in my heart — my husband and I spent an amazing two weeks there on our honeymoon. It's also where our four kiddos took their first steps on the sand and dipped their toes into “the warmer side” of Nantucket Sound.
We recently stumbled upon an amazing last-minute deal for a cozy cottage (just before the summer rush) and had a fantastic week at "The Cape" with our two oldest daughters and our soon-to-be son-in-law, marking our first summer vacation together in eight years!
We hit up all our favorite spots: checked out the jam kitchen in Sandwich, had a blast exploring our favorite beach, and spotted dolphins at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. And of course, spending quality time with my husband's New England fam and enjoying ice cream (for dinner) at the legendary Sundae School made it all the more unforgettable.
Time flew by way too fast (as vacations tend to do), and now I'm itching to get back there—although a part of me is still mentally soaking up those cozy Cape Cod vibes.

We lived in Zimbabwe when our son was little & took an annual vacation to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware every summer. We haven’t been in a long time but we all still talk about (& miss) Boardwalk fries & frozen custard, Grotto pizza & mini golf.
Naxos, Greece is our go-to destination. We've been staying there annually since 2017, and it never fails to restore us. The people are absolutely lovely; we've made several very good friends on the island. And then there are the beaches, which are among the best in all of Greece.
