Cape weekend, day 2



Today we went to the Cape Cod National Seashore which is very close to the motel we stayed at. It was absolutely beautiful there.






This is the old Coastguard Lighthouse Station at Coastguard Beach. This is also the place where the storm of 1978 took part of the parking lot and bath houses out to sea. This is also the same storm that took The Outermost House out to sea on the same beach.




We got a call from my Dad saying that my aunt Dot wasn't answering her door or her phone. He called to ask where to get keys to her house. We were about to head home, thinking the worst, when he called back to say she had gone out to eat with her friend Steph! It gave us all quite a scare.

We decided to head down to Falmouth and Woods Hole. This is the ferry that goes to Martha's Vineyard.





I was surprised that I only saw one "little door" this whole trip. This one was in Woods Hole.



The cranberry bogs were red all over the cape. This one in Woods Hole was one of the bigger ones.






Seafood Sam's again. This one was in Sandwich near the canal (diets start tomorrow!).




I thought these seagulls were very picturesque.




We drove through Plymouth on the way home looking for a museum that Paul's uncle was supposed to have. We found the museum but it was empty. We're not sure what that was all about; we'll have to find out.



We got home at 9:00. What a fun little getaway!
