The One With Taylor Swift's House

 This weekend, we spent some time down Cape Cod. We took a ride to Hyannis - it was crowded although most people had masks....some, to our surprise, did not.

 

After we got to a particularly crowded section of town, we turned down Sea Street to take a ride by the ocean. As we were going down several roads, I realized we were down in celebrity row, where the houses of the rich and famous of Hyannisport were.

Needless to say, Kiff, a huge Taylor Swift fan was excited. We tried out best to see if we could see her house, but we could not get too far. We did get a glimpse of part of the Kennedy compound. Emmie kept her eye out from Chris Pratt....but I don't think we saw him either.

However, it was a fun ride nonetheless...and one we hope to take again!!!

The One With The Yarmouth Drive In (delayed post)

 

 

Although this entry was posted later than usual, two nights ago (August 14) we went to the Yarmouth Drive In

 

 

The Drive In was located on the site of the original Drive In when I was a kid. Although I don’t remember seeing any movies at the Drive In, it was a local landmark for years.

 

 

Last night, we went to see a double feature consisting of JAWS and JAWS II. What a treat. The screens were fantastic with a brilliant LED appeal that puts Jaws in a whole new light, literally. It was a ton of fun…and there really wasn’t a bad seat in the house. We did realize that we should bring a small radio next time.

 

 

We ordered some snacks there to see what they were like….they were good.

 

 

It was a fun night. It was awesome to see Jaws down the Cape (like I had done years ago as a kid for the first time on its ten year anniversary). We did not stay too long for the second feature because the audio was off and the movie was lagging.

 

The One With The Goats

 Yesterday, we did something we have never done before - I always loved those days.

We visited a place called Goats to Go to have a "class with goats." Now, Emmie, Bri, and Kiff were super excited. It was interested as well, but I wasn't too sure what to expect...after all, they were goats and I have had some strange encounters with goats in the past (including one chasing me).

However it took all of about twenty seconds with the goats to make me realize just how amazing they are. The class was AWESOME. We learned about goats (did you know they have four stomachs) while we were able to pet, brush, and feed the goats. They were all kids - born earlier this year (as identified by tags on their ear, which all started with "20") - and had a lot of energy.

They also enjoyed eating food. The literally trekked in herds from one family to another (we were all properly social distanced) looking for food (at least one was enjoying being brushed). One named Hugh Jackman was my first arrival. I learned that he did not have horns. I thought that all males had horns, but it turns out that is a misnomer. Most goats can have horns (they are called polled goats), but they can be males or females. 

We had a fabulous hour class with them - I think I'd loved to get one to eat the poison ivy in our yard (they have to be trained to do that).  We wrapped up by getting a voucher for ice creams at a nearby ice cream shoppe (Jeff and Maria's which was great).

I would definitely recommend going. I hope to visit for a hike with goats or for the Halloween masquerade party at some time when things calm down.

The One With Our Anniversary

Yesterday was our 16th anniversary. It was hard to believe that 16 years passed so quickly. So, how did we celebrate in the Covid Era...

Coffee by the pool

Lobster Roll for lunch

Watching our wedding video (it was the first time Bri and Kiff saw it)

Playing 45s

Movie and pizza at night

It wasn't our typical anniversary, but it was fun nonetheless.
