Weekend after Labor Day on the Cape

The posts aren't exactly in order here... but I thought I would post this from our recent weekend-after-Labor-Day-weekend trip to Truro, just shy of the tip of Cape Cod.

We got lucky and found a great little cottage to rent for the weekend (thanks to Craigslist). From the second floor bedroom there was an amazing panoramic view of Cape Cod bay.




On Saturday, we awoke to the ominous grey of the approaching hurricane-turned-tropical storm (Hanna?), which ended up dumping rain on central Mass, but just wind on the Cape. We still made it to the beach to swim in the big waves, and stopped by Truro Vineyards for a wine tasting.

After a windy, stormy night, we woke up Sunday morning to an intensely blue sky, and had time for one last trip to our new favorite beach, which you have to hike into over the back of some beautiful dunes.




...and it looks like that was our last beach day of the summer...
