Our First Family Trip To Cape Cod
Buggy Bicycling, Beach Bums, and other Autumnal Alliterations
Autumn 2001
We bought the bicycle buggy in Cheapo Depot, and managed to squeeze it into the boot
of the car for the trip down to the Cape; I had to hire a bike because mine had been stolen
in Jacksonville, but Claire rode her cheap clunker, a veteran of our trip down the
Intracoastal and more conventional return to the New England.
We went the weekend after Labour Day to avoid the crowds and high-season prices, and the
weather and relative quiet made for a perfect weekend. Bicycling along the old rail track
started us reminiscing about earlier trips with friends and without children - we felt lucky
to have been able to enjoy the Cape from both perspectives.
