“Don’t you just love a bargain?”

After a long day in the car yesterday, we decided to sleep in.  When we woke up this morning it had been raining, but luckily it stopped and was just overcast.  I went downstairs and grabbed us some breakfast while we decided where we would go shopping. 

We walked down to the Hyannis Harbor and signed up for a fishing trip on Tuesday, which our host Terri recommended.  We walked to downtown Hyannis to check out the various shops.  We went back to the hotel, picked up the car and started our shopping journey. 

Our shopping marathon started at the Cape Cod Mall at the Bath & Body Works.  Luckily for us nothing was on sale and therefore no money was spent there.  We saw that there was a Panera Bread across the street and decided to have lunch there.  We discovered Panera Bread in Washington, and would highly recommend it for a tasty and healthy lunch.  After lunch we headed to the Christmas Tree Shops in Hyannis.  This must be the largest of all six shops on The Cape.  After spending some bucks there, we then headed to a new store that we found, called Ocean State Job Lots.  It’s exactly like Big Lots, for all you fans of Big Lots!

We went back to the hotel to change into our shorts since it was starting to get sunny and warm.  We then went to the Cuffy’s factory outlet.  This place has the best quality clothing around.  We spent a lot of time and a lot of money here.  For $137 we walked out with 6 t-shirts, 5 sweatshirts and 3 canvas tote bags.  They have great deals like 12 t-shirts for $36!  You really need to buy in bulk there to get the most unbelievable prices.

This morning we had asked our hosts for the best place to see a sunset.  Terri recommended the Chapin Memorial Public Beach.  She also recommended the Sesuit Harbor Cafe in East Dennis which is nearby.  Once again we had an excellent meal.  Fabulous fish & chips, and scallops & chips, while sitting on picnic tables over-looking boats going in and out of the harbour.  I wonder where they’re going to send us tomorrow for dinner!

After dinner, we headed over to Chapin Memorial Beach in Dennis and unfortunately for us there was not going to be any sunset.  So what does one do if there is no sunset?  You go shopping.  We hit the Christmas Tree Shop and Cuffy’s in West Dennis.  We picked up ice cream at the Kream N’ Kone and hit one more Christmas Tree Shop in West Yarmouth.  After a long day of shopping, we headed back to the hotel for an early evening.
