Great Cape Escape

Great Cape Escape

I love vacations, especially mini vacations that take me away for a nice long weekend. That said, yesterday I escorted my dear friend Lori to Massachusetts as she took her daughter to Cape Cod Sea Camps in Brewster, MA.

Why am I along for the ride? Lucky for me her husband was busy and unable to join her, therefore an invite was extended and I became his understudy (of a sort.) She and I decided—because we were going to be in Massachusetts already after dropping off said daughter—that we would pop over to the next town to stay at the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club, in Chatham, MA. What a place! Established in 1925, the Wequassett hosts visitors from the world over, offering world-class accommodations and superior dining. And the views and food? Incredible.

Truth be told, I always tell my MARried lady friends who I’d like any excuse to hang out with that “Whatever your husband won’t do with you—I will!” Well, obviously not “anything,” but if you need a traveling, shopping, theater going or dining companion I’m your man, as I’ll be the perfect gentleman. Lori and her husband have been such good friends of mine for so long; he has no fear of my being on this trip even though it involves an overnight stay. I do nothing more than coordinate her outfit the next morning. Heck ladies, that’s something that a husband or boyfriend won’t do.

So although Lori’s husband is number one in her books, while he is slaving away working over the weekend, I will be the one basking in the sun, shopping and enjoying some amazing seafood dinners with his MARvelous wife.

Seems this week’s message is clear: You might not always be the winner of the pageant, but being runner-up ain’t so bad. I will always be Violet’s number one so it’s more than okay to be second choice here. Life is good, and even better when your great escape is at the Cape. I’ll drink to that!
