Long weekend trip in July - input and recommendations welcome
My daughter (21) goes to school in Worchester and will be interning there this summer. My mother (70) and I (47) will be visiting and want to do a long weekend on the cape the fits around her work schedule. We will be driving in from Worchester early Thursday afternoon and returning late Sunday night.
Currently have reservations at Charm on Main in Brewster. Hoping for a relaxing trip with beautiful scenery, good food and fun shopping. We are pretty laid back and go with the flow but like to have a skeleton plan to follow.
Arrive/check in 7/16 - dinner in Brewster, check out the beaches at sunset (considering JTs seafood for dinner)
7/17 - breakfast at the inn, drive to Chatham for a day for shopping and eating, check out the seals and pier, Friday night concert in Chatham (considering imprudent oyster for late lunch or dinner)
7/18 - drive to ferry for ride to Martha’s Vineyard (from hyannis it is almost $300, from Falmouth it’s less then $100 - is it worth driving to Falmouth to save?); currently have a car rental at oak bluffs but may cancel since it looks like public transportation is easy and accessible; need restaurant recommendations
7/19 - breakfast at the inn or a recommended brunch spot, Hyannis and 2:30 whale watching tour and then after dinner drive back to Worchester
Would love some food recs, beach recs, plans for MVI.
We decided against PTown because of the road congestion and the ability to boat over from Boston in the fall.
