National Ice Cream Day On Cape Cod – July 15, 2012

July 9th, 2012 by Mike

Raspberry Mint Sundae, Anyone?Wow! Need a really good excuse to come visit Cape Cod? Summer on Cape Cod wouldn’t be summer at all without ice cream in every shape or form. Who doesn’t love the feeling of walking into an ice cream parlor and reading about all the flavors, sundaes, frozen cakes and ice cream drinks? The hardest part is actually deciding what to have! Being that my weakness in life is chocolate, I nearly always tend towards either choc flavor or choc topping, but Mike has finally convinced me that there is life after chocolate. So now I try VERY hard to avoid chocolate……….the result is that I LOVE the freedom of having so many choices that I never had before.

July 15, 2012 brings us the National Ice Cream Day where participating parlors will donate a portion of their proceeds to those served by the Cape and Islands United Way. The Fest lasts all day, and you can indulge with the sound knowledge that every mouthful is going towards helping local residents who are in need. Why not wrap the Fest into a stay at the inn? Check out our rooms and choose your favorite – hope to see you soon!

Mother’s Day 2012 In Cape Cod

May 3rd, 2012 by Mike

Blue Daisy at MonticelloNot long now and many moms around the country will be waking up to the one day of the year when they don’t feel guilty about NOT cleaning the place or cooking dinner! Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to let that special lady in your life know how much she’s appreciated and loved.

Most moms love flowers, so that’s always a great gift idea, but how about a trip to Cape Cod where she can really be treated like royalty and have a fun time too. Here are a few ideas for your mother’s day treat:

Over that weekend there is a fantastic exhibition, Blooming Arts, at the Cape Cod Cultural Centre where there will be some incredible floral creations from celebrated designers, each one paired with a painting by a Cape Cod artist. Lovely gifts, and all this is FREE! The exhibition runs May 12-13.

How about a brunch ride on the Cape Cod Railroad? She’ll enjoy a 3-course lunch while peeking at parts of Cape Cod that can only be seen from this scenic train ride.

Or what about a massage, facial or pedicure? How’s that for being spoiled. Our favorite local spa is Solstice Day Spa, in Main Street, Hyannis, just click the link to see their Mother’s Day contest plus lots more ideas for a great original gift. Follow her relaxing and envigorating time at the spa with a tasty and original meal just next door at the Naked Oyster restaurant.

So if any of this tempts you to treat your mom to a Cape Cod getaway for Mother’s Day, you could think about combining any of these ideas with a stay at the inn – we promise to treat her like a princess!
