We four Torgs–Bill, Megan, Charlotte and Izzy–drove from where we live in Boone, North Carolina to the town of Chatham on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. We spent the night in two places on our way to Cape Cod.
The first night of our trip we stayed near the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. There was a theme park, a water park, and a ski slope inside the mall. The next day, we drove around New York City taking advantage of how relatively empty the city was for the July 4th weekend.
After checking out some of our favorite spots in Manhattan, we headed up the coast stopping at Mystic, Connecticut and then spending a the second night of our trip in Newport, Rhode Island.
On Cape Cod, we spent four nights in the town of Chatham, Massachusetts. Although this podcast discussion focuses on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, we do mix in some Mystic, CT and Newport, RI. Hope you enjoy the conversation!
