My husband grew up near Cape Cod, so we drove through his hometown on the way there. Here is the lighthouse in his hometown.



A barge navigating the Cape Cod Canal



a salt marsh in Sandwich



the boardwalk to the beach



People that contributed toward the boardwalk have their names inscribed on the boards. This was one of my favorites!



Susie, just for you, here is a picture of my feet in the icy Atlantic




We stopped at the Edward Gorey House http://www.edwardgoreyhouse.org/



Cape Cod tourism is having different organizations decorate one of 50 whales that will be placed around Cape Cod. The Gorey one is decorated with his illustrations

Mouser donated to the board walk...I love that picture.


It is so different than the West Coast... really pristine.

The tip of Cape Cod is made up of mostly sand dunes. Here is a look at them from the top of an observation tower -

Wow Karen, those are beautiful pictures!

I love that boardwalk, how long is it?

Those houses are spectacular!


Looks like you had a splendid time - how cold was the Atlantic?


Thanks for the share!

Here... or There... Hmmm
How neat Karen!
I love it!
You guys must have had a blast though your hubby didn't see much of your face throughout the trip!! (It was burried in the camera!
That's how I'd be too though!)

Now I understand why people love the Cape Cod area.
It is simply beautiful.
