We planned this a long time ago- we wanted to take mom on a trip for her birthday and Mother’s Day, and decided on Hyannis. We all met at Alicia’s house, and drove up- mom didn’t know where we were going, we told her shortly before we got there (when she would’ve figured it out anyway). We had booked a sunset sail on a sailboat, and the rest of the day was hers to choose. We had lunch at Spanky’s Clam shack, we walked on Kalmus beach and saw lots of birds, and Alicia collected shells. We did some shopping on Main St., and had dinner at the Black Cat, before finishing with the sailboat ride. It was a long day, but so much fun!
