Sorry to hear it is closed but if you take Rt 137 south towards Chatham/Harwich, stop at the The Corner Store. They have the BEST burritos ever. See: http://kidoinfo.com/ri/daytripping-on-the-lower-cape/

Rhodia pads [my favorite!] are also available in Montreal in a paper store in the underground mall. Brewster and the Museum will also be added to our list of things to do in September when we’ll be there for a week. Thanks for the suggestions!

It is really a great spot for kids and has only improved over the years since i was last there (1986 when I worked there one college summer as a seasonal naturalist). Our kids (4 and 6) really loved seeing the aquarium animals(small compared with the NE Aq or Mystic, but it’s perfect for kids, especially with the personal attention from staff and volunteers). We also had a nice hike out the salt marsh trail to the beach, and even wading (during low tide) across the river that meets there Bay at the end of the trail. Quite an exciting adventure!
A couple of other things: good ice cream down the road, always good idea to do a “tick check” after outdoor forays, and you can also continue the osprey connection from home by watching the progress via their live cam.

My in-laws live on the Cape, and we’re always looking for new ideas for day trips while visiting them. We’ll definitely add the Museum to our list (and the burrito place too).

Thanks for including the driving time from Providence, very helpful!

My son picked out his Rhodia notebook at Utrecht at 200 Wickenden Street in Providence. He tried all the ones at the counter to find the perfect one that fit in his pocket! Also saw them at Morris Office Supply on Thayer street.

I went to that awesome burrito place last summer not sure the name or if it is open summers only

Yes! This place is wonderful. My sixty-something parents love to take their grandchildren to this museum.

I love the idea of a day trip to the Cape. We can stop in Hyannis on the way home for a Trader Joe’s fix.

Is the burrito place still open by the Brewster store? That place rocked.

I think that notebook your son is holding is my favorite kind–a Rhodia? Where did you get it?
