Jones Family Journal: Cape Cod Trip

I finally completed another year of medical school (way back at the end of June) and very quickly left for Cape Cod. Jason's whole family was there and it was nice to escape for a while. It was a lot of fun to see all three of the little boys playing together and to see how they are alike and also so different.

(Brian (~9 mo), Jackson (~10 mo), Lennon (~11 mo))

Brian had a blast. He LOVED the water. He would head straight for it every time we went down to the beach. Even though the water was freezing cold, that didn't stop Brian from "diving" right in. There was one occasion where we had to pull hi out of the water because his lips were actually turning blue!

My little fishy!

The fireworks on the 3rd of July (Plymouth's 4th) were amazing. We were right on the beach for the show and there fireworks everywhere. It was on of the most amazing fireworks displays I have ever seen. Brian didn't know what to think about the sound of them at first, but he really liked them. He caught on quick that there was a whistle type sound before the big sound and then being able to see them. He would look in the direction of the whistle and get excited when they went off. It was fun to watch him watch the fireworks.

While we were in Plymouth Jason's parents took Brian for a day and I took Jason to Martha's Vineyard for an areal tour of the island. Our tour was an hour long in a classic bi-plane with an open cockpit and everything. We had the leather helmet and goggles to go with it! I paid a little extra so we could also do aerobatics in the air - AMAZING! It was pretty scary. Way better then any roller coaster! We even had to have parachutes on! It was one of the coolest things I have ever done and Jason loved it too.

The cool plane we rode in.

While we were there we got to explore old town Plymouth. We went and saw the Mayflower (not the actual one, but a real replica). We saw one of the original water mills and even went to a mock plantation that was set up like it would have been after the settlers arrived on the Mayflower. It was very neat. Jason and I are history junkies like that.

Overall, the trip to Plymouth was amazing and we are beyond grateful to Jeff and Laura for making it possible. Here are just a few more of my favorite pictures.
