Cape Cod Weekend Escapade

After 18 graduate hours down, another semester, two conferences, my first conference paper, Katie joining me up in Mass., and tons of other milestones for my life, it’s nice to sit back and just relax, reflecting on all that has happened.

On the last weekend in April, the weather went from 30 degrees to 85 degrees for a magical couple of days. Me and Katie capitalized on this and ran a 2 day random trip to the east coast of Massachusetts, to check out all of the hype around Cape Cod. The map below shows our roundabout route from Worcester to Plymouth, Sandwich, Provincetown, South Yarborough, New Bedford, Newport, Jamestown, Wickford, and back home.

To sum it up, it was amazing! Some pictures from the trip show the highlights! To view the full album, click here.
