Destination: Cape Cod

Posted by Wazzamba on July 26, 2010 Comments

Pack your seersucker pants, because Wazzamba is sending our top premium scorer to Cape Cod. On August 1, we will award a 2 week Dream Trip to this seaboard destination, renowned for its spectacular sand dunes, iconic lighthouses, and incredibly fresh seafood. Nature lovers can enjoy the miles of biking trails, pristine beaches, and even whale watch!

Learn to sail by day, and then sit back for a well-deserved lobster dinner served with a local wine. For nearby excursions, quick day trips include Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, the eastern-most point in the US! History buffs won’t want to miss the historic architecture, museums, and Mashpee Indian legacy.

Picture yourself relaxing in Cape Cod on the trip of a lifetime, get playing to win, and don’t forget your camera! We love your photos and stories!
