At 6 months old, Andrew has become quite the traveler. Last week, we packed up and headed to Greenwich, CT to visit Nick, Nikki, & Isabel for the first time since they moved in November. This also marked the first time Isabel and Nick were going to meet Andrew. Andrew absolutely loved Nick and Isabel. It was so fun to watch Isabel with Andrew as well, she is going to be a great big sister in just a couple of months.
Nikki and I had always wanted to visit Cape Cod, so we thought this would be the perfect getaway for all of us since they now lived so close.
First up was Greenwich, it is absolutely beautiful and the Hartman's really seem to like their new city! After one night at their place, we packed up the kids and two car loads and made the 4 hour trip to Cape Cod. The road trip went very smoothly on the way there and Andrew checked off plenty of states on his list of where he has been. Once we arrived, we checked into our hotel/condo at The Ocean Edge Club Resort, perfect accommodations for our stay (a little bit more updated would have been nice, but it was great)
With limited time to spend we made the most of the trip...here is the summary:
Pool, Beach, Shopping in Chatam, Seal Watching, Ferry Ride to Martha's Vineyard and Eating a ton....the lobster rolls and the Chicken Pot Pies from Oprah's Favorite Centerville Pie Company were my favorites.
On Thursday, we made the drive back home to Greenwich - seemed a bit slower on the ride home and we had one blow out from the little man in the back. In Greenwich we continued the fun and ate a ton. Steve accompanied Nick on the train into NYC on Friday so he could take pictures while Nikki and I dropped Isabel off at camp and then went to breakfast and managed to slip in some shopping on Greenwich Ave. We went out to a great place for dinner right by the train station in Rye NY that evening. Saturday, we headed to Greenwich Point to see the beach and the park, so beautiful - this will be great for Nikki when the baby comes, beautiful area for long walks! Then, we headed to a little beach town for lunch where I had a lobster grilled cheese that was to die for and then we went back to the Hartman's to gear up for a great BBQ that evening complete with cupcakes from Crumbs, which were outstanding! We made it back to Greenwich avenue on Sunday morning for brunch before we left to come back home. It was a great trip and we cannot wait to get back to the East Coast for another adventure next year(we decided that we'll do an annual trip with the Hartman's)
