Cape Cod Walks/Hikes

It was pretty chilly, but we tried to bundle up and get outside for some fresh air as much as we could during our trip.

The above photos are from walks in Orleans from Paul and Kate's house.  The following pictures are from a hike that Paul took us on in Welfleet.

We had the trails all to ourselves.  It's fun to be there in the Off Season. 

Pat doesn't start classes again until next week, so we have this week to relax and get things done at home.  We'll take off for a walk when Charlie gets up from his nap.  :)

Cape Cod: Charlie & E's First Visit

We drove up to Cape Cod on Thursday night and returned to NJ last night. Charlie slept pretty much the whole 4.5 hour drive up there, but I had to give him a bottle on the last part of the drive. (We pulled over to a rest stop so I could burp him out of his car seat...if you have any travel tips for babies, do let me know) Elizabeth had never been to Cape Cod, so it was so fun to show it to her, even if it's still the off season. Kate isn't in too many pictures because she hung back at home to take care of her grandson while Paul played tour guide for us. Paul and Kate, as always, took great care of us and fed us well!!  And on to lots of pictures!

 How we love our self portraits...E is a master!

E tried mussells for the first time and took apart her first lobster.

We all got Easter baskets.

We also had a girls day - we saw the movie Water For Elephants, which I thought was great, and did a little shopping.  Such a fabulous trip!!
