The Last Sea Turtle Nest of the 2017 Season
Our last nest of the season. It was rainy, windy, and just chilly enough to make me wonder if I should even go. Then there was some pretty major construction on my way to the nest site. I had just talked myself into heading home when I saw a friend who was going rain or shine. I decided to … [Read more...]
The Eventful End to an Eventful Trip
We had the best two and a half months on the road this summer. It all started according to our plan... Wait. No it didn't. Not even close.

Massachusetts, Your Food is Amazing!
I have to eat gluten-free so I don't always get to eat out when we travel. The Boston and Cape Cod areas were amazing, however. Not only did they have really good gluten-free food but they understood how to prepare it safely. Below are the restaurants we found: Chatham Fish and Lobster Co. in … [Read more...]
Cape Cod, You Stole My Heart – 2017
Cape Cod was my very favorite place that we visited this summer. The food was amazing, the people were nice, and the wildlife was unbelievable.

This is a reall cool place. We learned a lot here! The town of Woods Hole in and of itself is worth the stop. We soon learned it's pretty much all about Marine Science.
