Cape Cod: Hyannis

We got back from our weekend on the Cape on Sunday and already we're missing vacation!

Vacation with a toddler is tough (especially a toddler who doesn't know how to sit down!) but it was still vacation and it was nice to be away. It's always rough to come home and get back into the swing of things.

We stayed at the Blue Water Resort in South Yarmouth and aside from going into Hyannis on Saturday, we didn't venture too far from the resort!

We took Shane on his very first boat ride (he LOVES boats) and took a cruise around Hyannis Port - it was a great hour long ride and we got to see lots of great sights, lots of great views and lots of boats!!! We had a fantastic time.

After our boat ride we walked down Main St in the center of Hyannis and checked out some of the shops. Chris checked out the JFK Museum and Shane and I hung around and watched people climb onto and off of the big "Duck Tour" boats/trucks - he didn't know what to make of those!

Taking in his very first boat ride:
Checking out the sites with Daddy:
Oohhhhhh!!!
"Hi Daddy!" Blowing Daddy kisses:
Some views from our cruise around Lewis Bay into Hyannis Port:


The Kennedy Compound. If you click on the picture (to make it larger), you'll see the large white house in the front. This was owned by the Kennedy Family and was sold to Senator Edward Kennedy for $1 by his mother just before she died. The house to the left (and slightly behind) the Kennedy Family home was the home of Robert Kennedy and the house behind the Kennedy Family Home was owned by JFK. Both homes are now owned by Edward Kennedy as well.



A few snapshots from our time walking around Hyannis. Shane rode the carousel with Chris and the whole time he moved his arm up and down, up and down, up and down, just like the horses were doing! Apparently they were going "up" in this shot!
Playing skee ball! What you don't see here is that everytime Shane threw the ball it would only go half way up the ramp. He'd start clapping getting all excited and then he would climb up the ramp to chase after it! HYSTERICAL!!!
Beach pictures to come soon!!!
