Although I had wanted to start sharing photos and recaps from my recent long weekend away on the Cape as early as this past Monday, by the time I had returned home on Sunday evening and crawled into my own bed with the air conditioning on full blast (the best way to sleep!) – I […]
Earlier this week, I had talked about how I’d spent my Fourth of July holiday in Rye, New Hampshire while simultaneously sharing one of the best places to grab an overstuffed lobster roll (like a true Patriot!) – but I’d also mentioned that a few other locations had been considered before my mom and I […]
