Life Magazine: Vacation’s End, 1946

In nineteen forty-six, Life Magazine ran a story about the end of summer vacation on Cape Cod.  It features William and Carol Foster, on vacation from Nashua New Hampshire along with their sons, Karl and Michael, 9 and 4 years old.  Renown photographer, Cornell Capa, captured the sweet and fleeting experience in these stunning photographs.

Cape Cod Vacation

This is a very short story about Cape Cod.  It begins with a map and an image of a traffic jam with cars from the late 1940's.  There are two classic pictures John Kennedy with Jackie and one with Caroline, summer residents of the Cape.  And it ends with things you might eat and drink while you are there.
