Another Flawless Chatham Day

When my college friend messaged me that she and her family were coming to the Cape from NY and that they were day tripping to Chatham, I had to take a day off of meet them.  Karen and her husband, Al, are one of my favorite couples, and there three children are adorable and so sweet.

I met them in town, and the girls hit the shops while the boys played in the park.

Before we split up, we hit the Candy Manor.

Chocolate sea creatures!

Friends for over 20 years!

Whale lip balm!

Cuteness at Bella!

Next stop, lunch at the Squire!

Had to have a couple of oysters.

And a lobster salad.

On to Buffy's for some homemade ice cream!

Ice Cream from Buffy's- pumpkin and cherry vanilla chocolate chunk.

Cute rope bracelets, but $88?!

Whale mug!

This is SO TRUE!  Needs.8.hours.of.sleep.

If I get a big house....

After saying goodbye to the family, I headed to the lighthouse/beach area.

The lighthouse was closed, so I headed to the beach.

What a view!

Had to head down!

Sadly, my phone died and the incredible walk that I took was not captured.  Such a shame- it was magical.

After a super long beach walk, I headed to the fish pier to grab fish for dinner.

I could almost reach out and touch this gull!

Caught a pic of a big harbor seal before my phone died again.

Time for fresh fish.

And homemade lobster bisque!

Back at home, I settled down with a good summer movie.  

And a homemade, healthy meal of fish and vegetables!

I wish every day was like this!!
