Summer in New England

As I mentioned in my last posting, we had a wonderful time in Massachusetts! We spent the whole week with Dave, spending part of the time in his driveway, and part of the time with him on Cape Cod. We overnighted just one night before packing Dave up and heading out to the Cape.

What fun we had on Cape Cod! On Thursday out to East Falmouth, staying at Cape Cod Campresort. It was a pretty camp, offering a good level site, lots of amenities, and a clean and interesting place to do my walk.

Friday we went to Provincetown, way out at the very tip of the Cape. We drove the RV all around the tiny roads, and she handled great. We found parking up on the hill by the Pilgrim Monument. It was a $10 parking spot, but was well worth it for us.

We hiked the short path down the hill to Commerce Drive. This is where all the things happen in Provincetown -- all the neat little shops and restaurants.
Lunch was delicious at the Lobster Pot!



After lunch, we explored the beach and I took some photos of boats. :)


Then Dave and I walked up the steps to the top of the Pilgrim Monument -- 500 some feet. What a magnificent view!


Dave took this photo of me:


This is a pic of the steps looking up:
I'll be posting some panorama shots later; I just can't bring myself to push the buttons right now. (Actually, I'm going to have to do some cropping and composing on these photos first.)

At the Pilgrim Monument there is a museum, and I shot these photos of Dave interacting with the wildlife. Dave is well-known for his love for geese!


Meanwhile, we're having a great time with Aunt Dots in Madison. We've been kind of taking it easy, which is perfect for us. Ydy we did laundry, got Michael's blood drawn, and made his appointment for his Monday MRI, and went to the local Farmers' Market where we got yummy baked goods, raspberries, blueberries (huge!) and tomatoes.

Today we were back at the hospital for more blood work for Michael, we had pizza for lunch, and BLT's for supper. One thing's for certain; we're having good eats! :)
