Chips Ahoy!

Wednesday was he day we were anticipating Auntie Cherie!
She's going to stay with us for a few days. Woo-Hoo!
She arrived around 10 AM to an overcast day where Mother nature could not decide weather to rain or drizzle.

She arrived and settled in a bit. On this rainy day we decided to start our afternoon off with a lovely ocean side view lunch over at Tug Boats. We got their shortly there after 11. Elle & I had Clam chowda, J has tuna skewer's and Auntie chose the pulled pork sandwich since it had apparently been speaking to her...... :)

From there we set out to The Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory! The factory has self guided tours of the the facility. We hit a bit of traffic an oddly enough this seemed to be a very popular rainy day thing to do. The place was jamming!

There is nothing that is going to stand between me and my free bag of chips! Let's get in line. The rain held off while we stood around the corner in line. It moved along and we were in there in no time. The short corridor showed each station on how to make the chips with fun, well done illustrations explaining what's going on.

At the end of the line is the gift shop and our free samples. Auntie bought a few delicious bags! YES! Thanks Auntie.

Hmmm, all these chips to eat. I'm kinda thirsty. Johanna said "what better place to wash all these chips down than at the Cape Cod Brewery?" With complete agreement we got into the car and headed over to the brewery. We were warmly greeted by the staff and why wouldn't they be nice??? They work at a brewery! It took not time at all for us to begin our beer tasting. Ellie tasted the fine Cape Cod water while we three downed 3 types of beer, Red, Summer & Something else I don't recall cuz I was drinking...

The Cape Cod Red was excellent. I bought a Growler of it and a Baseball hat. Now, let's go home and finish drinking this thing! Well, Ellie & I got dropped off at home so J & Cher could go to Main St. Hyannis and shop a bit.

For dinner I made good use of our lobster pot with a pound and a half lobster while the girls ate pizza. And I washed it all down with some CC Red.... Vacation in every sip.

Tomorrow.... the lavender farm and pottery studio.
