Happy 4th of July!
We spent the day in Provincetown. A little touristy and a little crazy with people but really cute shops, great food and beautiful beaches.

flats #2


Chris loved walking on the mudflats looking for shells. He found several really big, nice and fun ones. It was quiet and beautiful!

It was fun to watch all the boats come and go.
tower#2
This lighthouse was built in the 1850's; it was moved away from the shore in the '90's. This was the one thing i wanted to do and tour because it is always what I pictured when thinking of Cape Cod. There were beautiful views. We saw the whales in the water from the lookout.

cl#2
overlooking the sand dunes in Provincetown~the Pilgrims cut down all the trees for cattle grazing and then over did it so now there are no trees and the sand has nothing to hold the vegetation. we read all kinds of things at the visitors center! interesting.
