"at Cape Cod with my family"

That's assuming you don't have more than one family.

Yankee · Answer

Hi Eddie,

I don't live too far from Cape Cod, and what I hear people use most often is "on Cape Cod" (without the word "the").

- I spent two weeks on Cape Cod with my family.

However, I also occasionally hear people say "in Cape Cod".

- I spent two weeks in Cape Cod with my family.

And finally, people in this area sometimes refer to Cape Cod as "the Cape" (i.e. with the word "the" and without the word "Cod"). When they do that, they usually say "at the Cape".

- I spent two weeks at the Cape with my family.

Confusing, huh?

Thanks all! I live two hours away from Cape Cod. That place is paradise! I'm going there again in a few weeks!

I've been reading lately, and I hope that my grammar improved.

Yes, Cape Cod is great! Have fun when you go, and don't forget to bring a couple of books to read on the beach.
