We planned this trip a year ago when we saw a piece on the nightly news about the hydrangeas out on Cape Cod in a town called Chatham! You know we love our flowers and the photos of the hydrangeas had us mesmerized!
My Favorite color of hydrangea
One tip is to fly into Providence, Rhode Island versus Boston. It’s a much smaller airport so we stayed the first night there and then a car service picked us up to take us out to the Cape with a shout out if you’re in the area to Elite Car Service because they were amazing!
We stayed at a little Inn on Chatham called The Old Harbor Inn the couple that host us were just precious and we had a charming little coastal room.
And how about these matching pajamas called Lighthouse Keeper from Printfresh, lol? How perfect to find these since they had not only lighthouses on them hydrangeas as well! Get them HERE & HERE
One thing to note if you ever go out to see the hydrangeas in July is that they have on the cape what’s called the hydrangea festival but it’s not really a festival per se. It’s a garden tour. We thought this was going on all week long during the time we visited, but it was only in certain towns and certain days. We got lucky that our day in Chatham was the morning we were leaving, so we were able to still catch the gardens. But you do not even need to go on the tour to see beautiful hydrangeas all over Cape Cod! Everyone we talked to said they were particularly spectacular this year due to the spring we had.
The day before we left, we took the ferry out to Nantucket! I have to say I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would.
Yes, the architecture is charming and the cobblestone Street on the main drag is just precious with great shops, but I think I liked the Cape more! It was so incredibly busy, no wonder people that live there get frustrated with all the tourists coming in. Plus, it rained the afternoon we were there and I can tell you, Nantucket, you need more covered spaces, lol! Everyone was miserable. Vineyard Vines was giving out free ponchos, lol!
house was different and a fav of ours!
The ferry takes about 80 minutes. Hindsight is 2020 but we wish we would’ve got a car and drove out to the outlining areas to see some of the bigger homes and beaches.
Which Shot is your favorite?
One last question of the day, what do you do when people stare excessively? We encountered a lady who would literally not stop staring at us even when you met her gaze so tell me what you do when you get stared at? Lol!
Happy Week to you my Beauties!
