Barnstable Re-Discovered August 2017

Growing up on the south side of Cape Cod in Barnstable Town in Centerville village I never explored the north side around Barnstable village. This year we rented a beach house near the intersection of Commerce and Millway. Right near the Millway Marina where the Whale Watch boat goes out. The "Bayside" turned out to be fantastic. I ran each morning down Commerce and then along 6A then down Millway and Freezer Road back through the Marina ending at Millway Beach. Finishing a run by jumping into the ocean and then taking an outdoor shower are things you cannot do in Worcester where I have live now for 32 years. The vacation was fantastic with memories that will last forever. If you haven't visited Barnstable village along route 6A get up there. Barnstable Market, Smittys Ice Cream and Nirvana Coffee are special places. Two week earlier we stayed at Disney World which was also fantastic.

The winters in Worcester never seem to end. But you have to always remember no matter what is happening there are always better days ahead. The 14 days we had in Disney World and on the north side of my hometown of Barnstable with my family were those better days. As the summer winds down we will get to the Cape and hoepfully Nantucket a few more times again. But the summer of 2017 will always be special and I am glad I now am familiar with Barnstable village.
