Roadtrip! Cottage Kitchen

Nate's family has been going to the same summer cottage in Sandwich, MA (Cape Cod) for somewhere around 15 years. Due to some logistical issues, we ended up in a different cottage this year, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.


This year's cottage was a beautiful place to stay. Recently renovated and full of light, one of the best features was the kitchen. The cottage is located on the beach, with a marsh out back. The kitchen has a huge corner window overlooking the marsh and for most of the week, there was a breeze blowing in through the windows. The view was lovely and peaceful. Normally I don't look forward to our assigned night to cook, but this year I welcomed it (imagine the cooking I'd do if this was my kitchen at home). I didn't even mind chopping a bag of potatoes with a terrible knife! We found these huge sunflowers at a local farm, which made the already bright kitchen that much cheerier. Aaaahhhh.... :)

Thanks to Nate's family for a wonderful week, and, while I'm glad we had such a great place to stay this year, it sure made it hard to leave! Cate called the cottage "my new house" all week...if only...
