Orleans, MA Tradition 2018

Every year grandma takes the kids to Snow's Home and Garden to see the trains and then for hot chocolate at Hot Chocolate Sparrow. This year we started with a hike on the For Hill Trail, which is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore

Cape Cod- July 2018

While Kevin and I were shopping for a home in Omaha, the kids stayed a week with Grandma and her best friend Nancy. They also spent a night at Great Aunt Nesie and Great Uncle Steve's and got to see Great Grandma, Great Aunt Mary, and Great Uncle Dickie. Kevin and I also spent 6 days on the Cape seeing family and friends.

Aunt Nesie and Uncle Steve took them to mini golf, bumper boats, and a farm! And then they slept over in their camper for fun.

Grandma and Nancy took the kids to the terrifying reptile show at the Yarmouth Port Library:

While Kevin and I were on the Cape, we saw most of the family, and our friends Janice, Darren, Ellie, Casey, Jacyn, and Jaime. Janice is planning on being our first visitor in Omaha (tied with Grandma) and I'm super excited to see her again already!

Jaime is such an amazing friend, and dare I say, hero? She traveled hours to the Cape and back to enjoy a short visit before we move to Omaha. This despite the fact that I am pretty certain I will see in Omaha this winter as well. We enjoyed a lovely brunch at Grumpy's and a motorcycle parade.

We visited Great-grandma some more, Dolores and Dave, the Cape Searles, and spent more quality time at Nesie's. What a long and fulfilling visit!

It's been two weeks since we left Long Island today! And we're off for our one-week road trip! Roadtrip stops: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Coco Key Resort in Omaha. By the time we move into our house in Omaha, we'll have been without an address for 3 weeks! I'm ready to settle in!
