This past weekend we decided to do a last minute getaway... where else?? Well we went to Cape Cod (South Yarmouth). This was to be a new adventure to us since no one in my family had been there. We decided to stay at the Ocean Club @ Smugglers Beach. http://www.oceanclubonsmugglers.com/. These are small condominiums/hotel that have a great childrens activities program and an wonderful indoor heated pool surrounded by the beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms are a bit on the small side but we are a big family so for the average family of 4 will fit just right!! We were greeted with a smile and were provided a fantastic rate. Military rate is offered at a 10% discount. They even showed us where to pick up brouchers that provide local activities, rates and restaurants. The resort is also located close to several ammenites (McDonalds, putt putt, CVS & Walgreens, Shaws & morer ) the town has to offer and near to Hyannis,Ma which has a mall for those who prefer to shop at a mall and name brand restaurants. It was here that I saw they had an Outback Steakhouse.... yummmm. We had not visited an Outback since our move from Florida to Minnesota. Outback has always been one of my favorite places to eat at. Their bloomin onion for AUSSIE TIZERS is one of my favorites and their Alice Springs Chicken was my craving when I was pregnant. So we headed to this place because we didnt know of one near our home. We ofcourse did the call ahead seating and was ecstatic to avoid the wait there with our 4 girls. The hostess were prompt, the waitress was very attentive and overall we had a great time. Dinner was a bit on the long side but the manager made up for that in the end. Overall we had a good experience and were able to return to the room to enjoy the rest of our time on the beach. Now remember its 40 degrees so in my pictures you shall see us wearing gloves, hats and snow coats.. hilarious I know but that didnt stop my kids from enjoying every thing about it . We enjoyed the pool and then at night they had ADULT swim. For those parents who crave some alone time this was a perfect thing for us. My husband and I sneaked away for jacuzzi time which was FANTASTIC..!! All I can say.. is we will definitely be returning here!! We are planning a trip in May so we can take advantage of the whale watching tours, and hop on a nearby ferry to visit Martha's Vineyard.. yeah... will definitely be writing about all Martha's Vineyard has to offer. For now.. please feel encouraged to visit South Yarmouth.. its a beautiful place even in the winter!!
