I will be posting more because I am going to Cape Cod! For those of you that don't know it's in Massachusetts. I will be going to the beach, running down to the local store The Mayflower to get the morning newspaper (I get paid), and to to get ice cream. Uncle Merlin has a house down on the Cape that we rent every year (we used to rent a small cottage but then the woman who owned the house sold it). So I will be bloging from there. See Ya Then!

Oliver, I was wondering if you were going this year, so I'm really glad to hear that you are. I have great memories of being at Uncle Merlin's house with you guys -- the downstairs light that lets you know if someone is in the bathroom upstairs!, walking up the street for ice cream, you small fry going down to the pond pier with nets, walking to the beach at night (with you in a stroller!), etc etc.
There is a blog that I don't think is being updated anymore that was totally devoted to the best ice cream on the Cape.
(http://www.icecream.thesietch.org)
Maybe you can fill in some gaps with your blog while you're there ;-)
We're going to be staying in a friend's cottage in Old Saybrook (CT) for the second year, and it would be great if it becomes a yearly tradition. We have the opposite situation as Unlce Merlin's house -- the beach is right down the street instead of the paper and the ice cream. Why am I so focused on ice cream?!
Anyway, have I great time, as I'm sure you will be! Royal and her not-yet-nicknamed Mannion brother wish you guys a safe journey and a wonderful vacation...can't wait to read about it!

Dear Auntie Velv, I can't stop thinking about ice cream either. I hope you have a safe and wonderful vacation too. P.S here are some nicknames for Royal's little brother Jon, Harold, Zack, Ted, Tod, George, Nick, Fred, and Sam or Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, and Lime or Lucky, SuperStar, and AllStar.

He wonders if he can be Shermie Mannion instead? You know how independent these Mannion-types are.
Funnily enough, Royal and (pending your approval) Shermie reminded me after I wrote to you that they've always referred to Uncle Merlin's house as "the Ice Cream House," so I guess that was a key part of their vacation too! The scoop doesn't fall far from the cone, apparently.
We're not leaving for our vacation for a few weeks, so we'll check in on your Cape adventures as you update. Have big fun!

Dear Auntie Velv, I like Shermie. It's a good name (plus he can choose any name he wants) I will look foreword to hearing from you, Royal and Shermie.
