Cape Cod can get kind of crazy in the summer, but here in Truro, and particularly on my road, the crowds and traffic seem very far away. Coming home after a day at the beach, taking an outdoor shower and lazing in the hammock is so peaceful! Then a cool drink on the deck as the sun sets and the fireflies come out - the essence of vacation and "getting away from it all"!
I think my favorite thing about my house is the living space, which along with the two decks, provides so many different places to be and yet stay connected with others. Lots of light and breezes make it lovely to be inside or out.
And with the beach at the end of the road there are whole days that I don't get in the car - that's my idea of vacation!
