| The original purpose
of this trip had been for my mother to fulfill her
lifelong dream of seeing Cape Cod and seeing fall color.
This weekend, we did both. We picked Jeri up from her
garret in Brookline and we drove off down the Cape. our
first stop was Plymouth,
where we met up with Jeri and Bill Desmond, traveling
around the country in their huge RV. We met at Plymouth
Rock (or should that be
"Plymouth Pebble"? and then checked out the
replica of the Mayflower, poked our nose in the wax
museum (long enough to decide it was too expensive--so
instead we left money in the gift shop!), and went to
dinner at the Weathervane Cafe. Leaving the Desmonds behind, we drove to Hyannis to spend the evening. In the morning we visited the Kennedy memorial in Hyannis and then drove all the way to Provincetown, at the end of the cape. We had such beautiful fall color to accompany us on our trip! |

| We had lunch on the beach in Provincetown,
then climbed the hill to the Pilgrim's
Tower (the pilgrims first landed at
Provincetown, before moving to Plymouth). Walt and Jeri
climbed the tower itself, while my mother and I did the
museum. As it became dark, we headed back toward Boston, to check in at our Motel 6 in Braintree...great location, directly across from the "T"...easy access to Boston in the morning! |
