Another Beach Vacation in Which It’ll Be Too Cold to Swim!

Filed under living in new york is neat, travels

Thanks to my friends Ash and Michael, I’m heading to Cape Cod tonight for the first time to stay in Michael’s parents’ cottage! (It’ll also be my first time seeing Connecticut and Rhode Island and Massachusetts in general, which I doubt surprises you.) I really have no idea what to expect. Literally the only experience I can remember having with the Cape is the movie Hall Pass, which leads me to believe that:

• you get a really bad spray tan once you pass the town of East Sandwich

• you start to wear the shirttails of your preppy button-downs tied at the waist

• you either a) cheat on your husband with a not-even-pro baseball player, or b) start to feel bad for giving your husband permission to cheat on you

So naturally I’m very, very excited about this. Are you sick of hearing about my vacations yet?

    SPOILER ALERT, KATIE. God!

    Only because I haven’t had a vacation in 3 years.

    I’ve got to stop procreating.

    • Last year was the first time in a WHILE that I took a vacation to somewhere other than Ohio, if it helps.

      But still. Leave those brats with Bluz and go PARTY.

    East Sandwich isn’t a town, Katie. It’s a village, in the town of Sandwich. God. You are going to be SO BAD at the Cape.

    I cannot wait to hear about it.

    • I mean, I’m sure you know this, but I just pulled up a map of Cape Cod and picked the most ridiculous name on there. So it’s the map’s fault. And also my parents’ for only raising me with farm culture and not fancypants culture.

      I will be texting you for help every five minutes.

    • Wait, there’s really a town called Sandwich?

    How many vacations can Katie take in one spring/summer??!! Now that’s a movie in the making. (Have FUN!)

    • More like How Many Days of Work Can Katie Miss Due to Vacations and Illness Before Someone Notices? Hope my review isn’t coming up any time soon!

    Dude, you’ll be, like, almost here.

    • I KNOW! I didn’t even realize that until my other Boston friend pointed it out. I don’t know where I thought the Cape was. Clearly you and Brad should come crash. It wouldn’t be weird for me to invite strangers to someone else’s Cape house, right?

  6. Are you saying something about my spray tan, U.M.?!
    :)

    The water is warm in South Carolina.

    I think. I really don’t know. It’s too fucking hot to go outside.

    You’ll have to get used to explaining to people where you’re staying by using your arm as a map.

    In Christina’s defense, I don’t think it’s a spray tan, I think she just gets freckles (I know something about this). Naturally-freckled folks’ freckles tend to meld together when they get lots of sun and look like funny splotches. *sigh*

    Sorry I’m backreading here… did you already do a post about this one? I read about the Ohio trip, but didn’t see anything about the Cape yet. I think it’s awesome that you’re taking so many vacations – that’s what people should live for! Who cares what anybody thinks! :)
