Jeff, who likes to plan trips like this, asked me where I wanted to go--the Cape is a big place. I shrugged and said, "Let's just drive down there and find something...you know, like an adventure." He looked at me and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Are you kidding me? We can't just aim our cars in the general direction and hope for the best." He got out the GPS, a map, and poured over both in an attempt to get us somewhere meaningful. Ahhhh....that is why we are good together. I have ideas and he makes them happen. Hee!
The fall colors were mostly gone, but I bet it was gorgeous a few weeks ago (when it rained almost every weekend).
First Stop: Nobska lighthouse
View from the Lighthouse
A sailboat, far out in the water
Jeff, Jillian and Molly climbed down the rocky beach to the shoreline
Certain unnamed children then had to use the restroom, so we headed back into the town of Falmouth.
After the purchase of the obligatory sweatshirt, we hopped back into the car for some more scenic driving and happened upon this beautiful inlet.
Fortuitously, this guy strolled into the photo frame, on his way to search for ??? Maybe crab? Lobster?
Then it was more driving to find a beach with some sand for the kids to play and search for shark's teeth. (We didn't find any, much to Chloe's disappointment.) Zoey and Kate got a kick out of watching the waves crash up and splash Mommy.
All too soon, the sun began to set and we had to head for home.
But not before stopping to eat a yummy fish & chips dinner, while enjoying this beautiful sunset.
The restaurant was also next to a dock for one of the ferry's that takes people to Martha's Vineyard. The kids were enthralled to see the cars driving onto the boat. (Mama was kind of enthralled, too.) We can't wait to go back!
