I'd like to give some cool reason for liking winter or autumn or spring, but the only thing I like most about those are my birthday/Christmas, changing leaves, and the start of warm weather, respectively. But those area all pretty generic. And at the risk of sounding cliche, summer on Cape Cod just can't be matched anywhere else.
Sure it's crowded and we all complain endlessly about the tourists, but we know on some secret level we love it. Like yes, I am a local! So for one moment you feel superior to the family of five from New Jersey. I work at a major tourist attraction and I love the moments when people are incredulous at how long it takes to get from Falmouth to Hyannis and the fact that there's nowhere to park (that they know of). I love having bonfires on Sandy Neck of course, and walking down Main Street and going to Craigville. One reason I'm holding off getting an apartment in Boston is the fact that I'd probably have to stay here for the summer, and I'm not ready to give up my Cape summers just yet.
