One of my daughters and her husband are planning a long weekend in Cape Cod this fall. They invited me to go along, It's already all set. I'm thrilled.

Enjoy!

There was a fancy ice cream place we made our parents take us a few times for make-your-own sundaes. I think you pointed to what you wanted and the counter people put it together.
This actually the second time in 4 wks I've been reminded of sundaes! I actually started to look up where in Manhattan I could go for one. Seems a bunch of places! Yippie. 🍧 😄

My kids have been there before, several times, and have a few places in mind.

Be sure to visit the overlook at Nauset Lighthouse for a beautiful view. When you get near Truro, make a side trip to Highland Lighthouse. You can tour it including climbing all the way into the lighthouse lens area.
(I proposed to my wife in the surf below Nauset Lighthouse, so the Cape is a special place for us.)

I was talking to my daughter last night with my atlas in front of me.
Such a sweet memory for you
