I have been spending a week of my summer on Cape Cod most of my life. My mother has been doing the same since she was 12 years old. There was a chunk of time in my teens and 20s when we instead travelled further afield to explore deserts, tropics and scuba destinations. These were exciting and memorable trips, but when my babies were small, we returned to The Cape.
