Cape Cod profiles

We had a wonderful time on our annual Cape Cod trip. We left on Thursday July 17th very late in the afternoon. We moved Liv to the back of the mini-van so I could sit next to her and keep her entertained because she hates her car seat. About halfway there, I switched with Brian and he sat with Liv while I drove. He was really tried from trying to get a lot of stuff done before we left.

Our 10 year anniversary was on Friday July 18th and we were still in the car driving at 1am when they played our anniversary song. Brian woke up right before it started, it was felt magical. What a great way to start the trip.

Everyone had fun on the trip, even Liv at almost 4 months old. We played on the playground and jumped on the trampolines every single day, we went to Barnes & Noble four or five times (they had a Starbucks and trains), we went to the beach a couple of times and the pool once. We went to tons of seafood restaurants until we were all seafooded out :). Bestemor, Grandma Jackie, Jennifer and Delphine visited us for 2 days too. That was a lot of fun, the kids had a great time playing together. We caught two butterflies while we were there (actually the same one two different days) and caught some fish in a net and put them in a bucket. We went on a boat ride and saw where all the Kennedy's live. We played putt-putt. We also went to the Zooquarium and saw lots of animals and sea creatures and had a pony ride.

Saturday on the way home we stopped at Bestemor's Norwegian shop in Mystic (like we always do) and got some cool Norwegian things for ourselves and for Christmas gifts. We usually stop at Mystic Pizza but Jack and Liv were sleeping so we kept going and got pizza about half an hour down the road.

Oh and we got Liv a new car seat from Amazon while we were there. She actually likes this one. Woo hoo. The 5.5 hour trip was much better coming home :).

Here are two of my favorite photos from the trip. Jenn took the first one and I got the second one.

We collectively KNEW you'd have fun, cuz you always do. We missed your cyber presence. But, it's good to get away from it ALL. Esp. since both of your lives are catering to our interests on almost a daily basis on many of the other 300-odd days a year.
How interesting about Liv's new carseat! Did you suspect that was a reason for her crabbussing or was it serendipity?

I meant to say that these pictures are beautiful. The composition of Jack and Tor's picture is outstanding. I love that surprised look Liv has.
