On the drive back to the B&B I saw the November sky that I had waited all month to see ~
The B&B in Falmouth has a main house ~
And a cottage out back, where we stayed. It had plenty of space for the three of us, but the country charm was tarnished by a musty smell that remained despite our best efforts to air the place out. Our best solutions were to leave the door open when we were there during the day [thank goodness the weather was warm] and to invest in linen-scent-reed-atomizers for each room ~
On Saturday we walked down to Surf Drive Beach, on the south side of the peninsula, for a view of Vineyard Sound. Different from Maine beaches, there were piles of shells and places covered with small stones. There must be more sand at low tide ~
Each morning after breakfast we walked into the village where there were wonderful shops and great places to enjoy coffee, a meal, or dessert ~
Breakfast was served in the dining room of the main house. The table in the back corner by the window was always set for three ~
The parlor, where we were able to access the village's public internet, was decorated for the holidays by the morning we left ~
All in all it was a good trip. Yesterday I picked up a full-sized map of Cape Cod so we can plot where to go on our next visit.

The beach and country charm (and coffee), what a perfect combo! The B&B looks stunning, I could cozy up on that couch and enjoy good conversation by that tree. Sounds like you had a lovely New England holiday.
Sharon, thank you for sharing.
Looks like such a nice time.
Would love something like this :)
I need a special get away...
It sounds like a lovely adventure. Too bad about the musty smell - that would have bothered me too. I have a sensitive nose.
What a charming place, and your post captures it! It's been ages since I visited Cape Cod, and you make me want to go back ... but probably not until the summer or fall. I love New England! Northern Michigan has a similar "vibe," but not nearly the years of history.
Wow. What a lovely holiday you had after all. Just gorgeous!
Looks and sounds like a beautiful trip.
SO glad you found some blue November skies and had a wonderful trip.
Sharon, your pictures look so nice they could be ads for the B&B! I really got a feel for your trip. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely photos of beaches, the sky, and the B&B. I remember my husband and I stayed at a B&B in Falmouth years before N was born, I think it was called Uncle Tom's Cabin?
Brings back memories.
