Vaca pics, to make you jealous

On the first afternoon, dipping my toe in the bay
Tide is up, sun is headed down
Must be cocktail hour

As noted last week, I spent last week on Cape Cod, at the Bernstein family compound in Wellfleet. Joining me there were my parents, my Romantic Accomplice, my uncle, and my cousins from Bend, Oregon: Jenny, Tim, Zach and Alex.

It was really hot last week, but there was no better place to enjoy it than the beach, where, if it was too hot, you just jump in the ocean to cool off. Sadly, my globe-trotting bother was no there to partake in the fun.

Here's what a family vacation on Cape Cod looks like:

Playing monkey-in-the-middle at Duck Pond
Alex is about 4, but can throw better than me
Older brother Zach is in the middle

On the beach, Alex eagerly awaits a beach ball
It took about 30 minutes to inflate
Sadly, Alex and Zach punctured it the next day.

More monkey-in-the-middle
As a result of my shoulders being sun burnt, wearing a shirt was a necessity
And therefore, so was not being stuck in the middle!

Family is great, but so was an eventing excursion to Provincetown with R.A.
Sadly, the National Seashore closes at midnight
Oddly, there are no throngs in this photo
