I have never been to Cape Cod, but it sounds like a really awesome place.
Especially the big snows that happen now and then.

The farthest up the east coast I have been was Connecticut to see my step
son's graduation from the Navy.  It is really nice from a climate standpoint.
The price of everything seemed to be almost double what I was used to when I
was up there - but things are relative.

Yes, lots of people I know who have retired around here have moved from
Maryland to Delaware.  Far less taxes and the prices are a bit lower for the
most part - at least for the time being.  I can see why people like Delaware
and I think it is nice as well.

I never say never, but I have no intention of moving.  Even though where I live
has seen significant growth over the past 20 or so years, that pretty much is
the same as everywhere else minus Alaska.

We just had an inground pool put in this past spring/summer, so my vacation
place is now the backyard.
