A Cup at the Cape

The weather prediction was for scattered showers and t-storms throughout the day today, so we elected to do Cape Cod in lieu of going into Boston.

I 495 runs from near our campground to the Cape, so it only took us about an hour to drive the 60 miles to Cape Cod. We attempted a casual drive around the Cape on Hwy 28, but soon found out that roughly a thousand fellow tourists were on the same page, or should I say, highway. We stopped in Falmouth for a cup of coffee, then slowly drove through Mashpee, Hyannis, and into Yarmouth. In South Yarmouth we stopped at The Skipper for lunch. A couple of bowls of Chowdah and a side of Fried Crab Cakes did the trick.

We ate on the upper deck overlooking the ocean, with the intent to visit the beach after lunch.

After lunch, we headed across the street to the beach, only to find that there is a $15 fee for accessing the shore. Since it was already 3 pm, we elected to skip the water thing and head home. We only made it about a third of the way to the end of Cape Cod with it's Pilgrim Monument and National Seashore, but maybe we'll have time to return. We would also like to take the ferry from Cape Cod to Martha's Vineyard for the day…..So much to do, and so little time!
