Plymouth & Cape Cod

I was in Massachusetts this past weekend for my cousins wedding. He's the first one of us to get hitched so it was really exiting getting all the family together. We stayed in a hotel in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The day before the wedding, my mom and I roamed the cute ocean front town and wandered in and out of the rows of antique and boutique shops. We met up with my dad to see Plymouth rock, which wasn't what I expected at all. I was a small glued together rock that was caged in. overall an odd experience. But no matter, we all went to lunch at a sea food restaurant. I forget what it was called but I do remember picking up on some of the quirky names of items on the menu, like Chowdah. A nice spin on a Mass accent. My dad and his family are from Vermont so they too have a little bit of that New England accent but no nearly as bad as the family my cousin married into. They're all from Mass and talk without R's, it was entertaining.

The Wedding was beautiful, it was down around the Cape at Tabor Academy. They had the ceremony right on the water with boats and the sunset in the background. It was a really beautiful setting. My cousin loves sailing so it was nice that they had the marina in the background. He even proposed to his new wife on a sail boat. I don't know if this was for real or not but when they first did their wedding registry, it was for Boston Whaler, the boating company! He thought someone was going to buy him a boat. The family quickly made him change that.
