One of my daughters and her husband are planning a long weekend in Cape Cod this fall. They invited me to go along, It's already all set. I'm thrilled.

1. Congrats, Marthe!

I'm excited for you!

[Marthe48]

2. Thank you

They are good about inviting me, but the last couple of years, I was unable to go . I've never been to Cape Cod, but always hoped I'd get to go. And I'll get to see my old friend, the ocean

3. Nice!

10. That's great news, then. My sister just got back from there, hanging out with a friend....

We went as middle, older kids with our folks waaay back.

There was a fancy ice cream place we made our parents take us a few times for make-your-own sundaes. I think you pointed to what you wanted and the counter people put it together.

This actually the second time in 4 wks I've been reminded of sundaes! I actually started to look up where in Manhattan I could go for one. Seems a bunch of places! Yippie. 🍧 😄

11. I used to make a sundae bar for extended family dinner

Had all kinds of ice cream, fresh fruit, toppings, whipped cream. The kids, now adults, still talk about it. I hope you find a sundae place where you'll make new memories

My kids have been there before, several times, and have a few places in mind.

6. Cape Cod is absolutely beautiful between the day after Labor Day and Columbus Day

If you're there between the day after Labor Day and Columbus Day, the weather is warm, but the huge tourist crowds are gone!

Be sure to visit the overlook at Nauset Lighthouse for a beautiful view. When you get near Truro, make a side trip to Highland Lighthouse. You can tour it including climbing all the way into the lighthouse lens area.

(I proposed to my wife in the surf below Nauset Lighthouse, so the Cape is a special place for us.)

12. We'll be in that area
