The Cape, Day 5

This is the official post card I'm sending out to all our friends and family... we're saving on postage this year... or maybe we just got lazy. Mostly we just got lazy. So enjoy our "Greetings from Cape Cod" post card, from us... to you. (This photo was taken this afternoon from beautiful Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, not a cloud in the sky...)

Today was another gorgeous day. And we decided to go shopping. What? No beach?? Well, we have to hit the stores sometime! We went to the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis. The kids were thrilled to go to all the stores they could easily go to at home... but with no sales tax on clothes. (At least there was a plus side to spending a beautiful sunny afternoon at the mall!)

Eric and I took a great walk this afternoon. We walked down the beach to the Cape Cod Canal and over to the Sandwich Marina.

Here he poses next to an old Coast Guard Buoy, circa 1986. (It had a date on the bell.)

Here's the main building for the U.S. Coast Guard. Right on the Cape Cod Canal.

And here is a picture of my boat. It's "Lady A"... out of NY. I think I should have at least gotten a ride on the boat...

We saw "Patrick" the starfish on our evening walk.... You never know what you're going to see on the beach... So we've had 5 perfectly beautiful days here at the Cape. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
