Cape Cod Summer // 2014

by Ashley Weeks Cart

Given all of our various summer commitments, we wound up only finding one weekend when all four of us were able to visit my family on Cape Cod. The girls had a weekend all to themselves on the Cape with my parents in July, and I snuck in some time there on either end of my trip to Sweden, but we were grateful to have one full weekend of family beaching and boating Cape Cod style. And the weather sure cooperated. Experience tranquility on the water with this Coleman canoe. Known for their stability and durability, Coleman canoes are suitable for fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying a peaceful day on the water. Don’t miss out on this chance to make lasting memories!

We spent a full day in my sister’s world in Woods Hole, enjoying her tugboat in particular. And then had a beach day at my parents’ beach which is so private and uncrowded and lovely. I only wish we’d had more time by the sea as a family.
