Cape Cod

3 years ago we decided to do a family vacation each summer . . . unfortunate for us we only get to go away Mon-Fri as our busiest season is the summer and all our Saturdays are booked. Nonetheless, we escaped to good old Cape Cod for 5 days. This year we stayed at Wellfleet at a rented house on Qual Hollow Rd (4B, 3B - nice and pretty comfy). It my myself, Ania and our son Dominik, along with my in-laws, Ania's sisters, and my mother-in-laws sister and her family (husband, 2 boys), and then we met Ania's aunt, uncle and 2 boys the last 2 days there.

Below is a picture of Dominik on a potty. Those that don't know, we're starting potty training way early - diapers cost fortune let me tell you, so the sooner we have him trained the better (ha haha). No but honestly, Ania and her sister's were all potty trained by 10 months, I don't see why we can't do it - we'll let you know how it goes.

The view below is from the tower at Provincetown . . . amazing, isn't it?
haha - portrait gone bad - it was so windy on the boat
This was the stairway case center in the tower at Provincetown (the two people peeking out are my in-laws)
Dominik looking at the museum artifacts
Ah, this was when we went Whale watching . . . so to my surprise (and kind of not so), I wasn't the only one with my 'gun' sort of speak (the woman smiling is Kasia, one of Ania's sisters)
Below here we have Aunt Jola, Kika, Ania and Agatka (the sisters)
And finally, a whale tale - did you know that hump back whales are here at the Cape for feeding for 6 months and then they travel back south for hibernation

This is someone I met on the boat - not a professional photographer by any means, but has the professional equiptment of a pro . . . the interesting part is that he's from Poland and travels to the US for 2/3 months just to photograph the whales (nice to have the means to be able to do this every year, =)
I do have to add that there were about 300 dolphins that morning joining us an the whales

This picture is one of many, and they represent the women who await and 'watch' their sailor husbands come home from each trip
This is our gang (below) minus my mother-in-law and Dominik
