The days my family are here with me are quickly evaporating and we are hastily fitting in everything we can from our bucket list! Today we drove the loop around the tip of Cape Cod to see what we could see! Lots of hours in the car, but learned a bit and enjoyed some gorgeous vistas during our three stops to get out and see things. I have to confess that although it was very lovely, Hwy 101 on the Oregon/North California Coast has them beat. Most of the Cape Cod scenic highway is too far inland to see the ocean! And there are no town roads that connect along the coast, so you have to choose a spot to go to. Granted, we had never been there before and weren't sure what to expect, simply following a list of spots to hit from TripAdvisor. Still, we loved seeing the Nauset Light and the huge waves off Eastham beach, the glittering dunes of the seemingly endless Race Point Beach, Herring Cove Beach near the tip of the cape where you can see ocean in all directions and watch the sunset, and the Pilgrim's Monument. Justin even got a bit of work done in the car, making it easier for us to take advantage of the sunny (though bitter cold) weather today! Good day for a long scenic drive.
