Memorial Day Weekend Vacation, Day 5

Day 5 of vacation was the end of our trip. We woke up, showered and checked out of our room at Otis. From there, we weren’t quite ready to head back home, so we decided to have lunch at Cooke’s one last time. We got to Cooke’s and saw they didn’t open for another hour. What better way to spend an hour waiting for lunch then at the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory? Of course, we’ve gone on this tour many times, but Jason is now at the age where he can actually recognize things and somewhat appreciate them. We pointed out everything to Jason, and some of the workers waved and smiled. A couple of them, with gloved-hands of course, picked up a couple of chips and showed them to Jason through the window. He was so excited. At the end of the tour, you’re allowed to pick out 2 snack size bags of potato chips. We each took 2 and that gave us the chance to try all 3 new flavors. Our favorite was the new Buttermilk Ranch potato chips…..SOOOOO Yummy!!!!!!!!

From there, we were trying to waste another ½ hour, so we were thinking of taking the new Cape Cod Beer factory tour, but they’d prefer no one under 21 in there, so having Jason with us ix-nayed that idea. We ended up going to Shaw’s instead for a few things. Jay also ran into Lorena and Steve’s other daughter who was working there.

From Shaw’s, it was off to Cooke’s finally. After yet another super yummy lunch, it was time to hit the road and begin ending our vacation. We hit some rain and thunderstorms on the way to the ferry and had a smooth ferry ride back to Long Island….

So that’s our trip, day by day…….I can’t wait to go back up in September for a long weekend for Amy’s wedding and then again for our planned 10-day trip up there next Memorial Day weekend…….

Sounds like you all had a great vacation! Such a great idea to go back and write about it. There are always so many things I don't want to forget - that's why I love to blog. :)
