Travel The East

While the 4th of July festivities ended on Sunday this year for many, we stretched the holiday into an extended weekend and headed down to the the Dan'l Webster Inn & Spa for a quick two day and one night getaway. Located in Sandwich MA, shortly over the bridge, it was less than an hour drive for us and it felt good watching traffic leaving the cape as we cruised along. The Dan'l Webster is steeped in a rich history dating back over 300 years and named after prominent Boston lawyer and Senator, Daniel Webster.

One of the best places in New England to be on a hot summer weekend is Cape Cod. We had a great excuse to get out there for a family wedding this past weekend and also made a vacation out of it. The wedding itself was at Willowbend Country Club , which is a beautiful golf course and wedding venue located in Mashpee. We posted up at an AirBNB in Yarmouth, which was around 20 min from the venue.

Another activity we enjoyed was a trip to Sandwich Boardwalk. This features one of the cape's longest boardwalks over a salt marsh to a nice beach. We saw many crabs, birds, and small fish along the walk. If you're looking to grab a quick lunch with a place to eat outside afterwards, check
