We went to the Cape today. Got down around lunchtime and had lunch then went to the beach. The kids got to play with their cousins for a while and their main entertainment was digging a hole. I foresee this as a trend this Summer. the kids will dig holes down at the water to get to water and they will dig holes on the beach to get down to water and to bury themselves. Then they’ll go into the water and rinse off and right back into the sand to play “Fried Chicken”. They are silly ones.
The kids made birdhouses for Grandfather. The birds couldn’t wait to use them because moments afterwards my Dad was holding one of the houses and a bird came flying down to almost land on it.
I poked around the garage and found my old skateboard. I didn’t realize that my skateboard was a Max Headroom one. How very 80’s.
Allison and I were invited to stay at the Daniel Webster Inn and Spa and see all the amenities of the Inn. Our stay was compensated. Opinions are our own.
Growing up on Falmouth Cape Cod we often did not venture beyond Mashpee because of how “far away” those other towns were. Going to Sandwich? Well that is clean across the cape and back to the canal. You might as well go home if you are heading there. That is often an opinion anywhere on the Cape. Once you get to your place on Cape Cod you hunker down and avoid the traffic at all costs. However, if you do that then you miss out on all that Cape Cod has to offer. There is a rich history here that is waiting to be discovered. One such historical place is The Daniel Webster Inn.
The Daniel Webster Inn is so named because the famous Boston lawyer, Daniel Webster had a room reserved at this Tavern from 1815 to 1851. There has been lodging on this site for over 300 years. Nestled in the very heart of the town of Sandwich, Ma, the Cape’s oldest town, the Daniel Webster Inn offers visitors and locals alike a fine place to stay and excellent meals.
On our visit Allison and I drove all the way over to Sandwich (about 40 minutes from Falmouth) and had lunch near the canal. Then we visited the Sandwich Glass Museum and learned how glassblowing and glassmaking made Sandwich a very prosperous town. I find that as I get older, all those trips that I was so bored with as a child are no very interesting. We saw a glassblowing demonstration and tours the substantial museum that had a large collection of Sandwich glass. Continue reading Review: Daniel Webster Inn – Sandwich, MA→
