Stony Brook Grist Mill and Herring Run

 Springtime is a favorite time to visit the Stony Brook Grist Mill site and Herring Run in Brewster on Cape Cod!

This popular spot has been featured on my blogs before... and this time I surprisingly managed to visit when there were no seagulls (the herring weren't running at the time). 

I was able to take some sweet shots of this historic place, sans gulls! ;)

This site is a favorite of spring visitors... when children are off for their April vacation, this spot is packed with locals, tourists and their cars (the town often has to hire a policeman to control the resulting traffic jams during vacation week).

This is also a very popular site for wedding photos!

 

This tree reminds me of something from "Harry Potter"!  It's even more amazing once it has leaves (it's too early here on the Cape for tree leaves just yet).

Happy Thursday!

Child-Friendly Activities and Restaurants on Cape Cod

Being a year-round Cape Codder, and having a somewhat large family, I thought I'd share some of our favorite family activities and child-friendly eateries here on my blog from time to time.

If you've ever been to a restaurant or grocery store here on  the Cape, undoubtedly you've seen those handy little local guides inside the foyers.
  One of my absolute favorites is called Kids on the Cape.  I use this when I want to visit new places and attractions outside of my own familiar territory.

One fabulous (and year-round) element of this guide is their list of current and future daily activities for children here on the Cape.  If you click on this link, you will be redirected to their "Event Keeper", a searchable directory of children's activities.  While there, you can also click on links for reminders, or to recommend activities to a friend. Enjoy!
