The summer literally flew by with a gorgeous fall season in full swing! The smell of pumpkin lattes fills the brisk air and college football plays loudly in every pub across New York City. Looking back at summer travels, I had the chance to visit a beautiful little beach town at the tip of Cape Cod – Provincetown, MA. Filled with character and charm, this east coast beach spot is not your average coastal village. I went to Provincetown to cheer on a family member biking in the famous Pan Mass Challenge. It was truly such a positive and uplifting experience. The ride is for an incredible cause and the atmosphere is filled with hundreds of inspirational human beings biking for days to raise support for cancer research. I loved meeting all the families and wonderful people participating in the weekend festivities and hope to return next summer.
A few weeks later I had the pleasure of attending a gorgeous wedding and wedding brunch in Osterville, MA — another gem on Cape Cod! The weather was picutre perfect as the ocean sparkled against the coastline. Here are my personal highlights from these short trips to Cape Cod with a list of hotspot suggestions (lady favorites) for your next trip!
