What My Dog and July Have in Common

My Boston terrier and July have something in common...
they're both kinda sneaky. Don't let the sweet face fool you, if there's food that can be grabbed on the sly or an off-limits piece of furniture that no one's around to see her jump on, this ball of fur turns into the queen of sneak. 

And July's no better because even though it seems like the 4th of July was just last week, somehow the last Friday of the month (today!) snuck up on us Best of the Nest chicks. 
For any of you planning to link up today (and also those who stop by to browse through the inspiring links), we can't wait to see you back here then. 

So how did the end of July sneak up on me? I was busy eating my way through a trip to Cape Cod with lobster rolls, lobster rolls, and more lobster rolls,

followed by ice cream (mint chocolate chip is our family fave):

We took a long bike ride along the Cape Cod coast,

And hung out at the pier,

watching the seals swim and play around the fishing boats:

We went shopping in quaint Cape Cod towns (where we successfully found the store with the most plastic on the Cape. And spend a half hour in it debating which ducks were the cutest):
It was a trip where we didn't plan a thing ahead of time and just rolled with it each day. And we learned that with lobster rolls, ice cream, beaches, and...plastic ducks...even the most unplanned trip to Cape Cod is a great one.
