After the weekend in Swanzey, NH, we headed to "the Cape" and picked my parents up in Providence, RI on the way. The Bassetts have had "Brewster Magic" in their family since the 1920's. It is a very special, rustic cottage on the bluffs of Brewster, Cape Cod. When you enter the cottage, you are taken back in time and feel an instant sense of peace. It is also in a unique spot...at low tide the water recedes over 1 mile out to sea. You can then walk on "the flats" (which is the ocean floor). It is wonderful to feel the soft sand beneath your toes as you look for treasures and creatures. My favorite are hermit crabs, tiny animals which crawl on your hands out of their shells. Many people fish into the deeper water from the flats, Steven and Dad caught a nice bluefish which we had for lunch.
Karen, Bill, and Miriam (3y.o.)Clapp also joined us at Brewster Magic and stayed from Sunday to Wednesday. We so enjoyed our time with them... especially to experience Miriam's wonder and delight at it all. We had a bonfire on the beach and made great S'mores. My parents babysat Miriam and Benjamin so that the four of us could enjoy a marvelous dinner out. It was an amazing seafood meal and great to get a little break.
Our favorite day we did absolutely nothing...took naps, read books, ate dinner and played Scrabble to kerosene lamps. We watched the sunset almost every night, enjoyed amazing stars, and falling asleep to the surf. This is the good life!
