It was yet another wonderful day on the Cape. There were clouds, and even a few raindrops at one point, but mostly it was a great day weather-wise. Eric and I went to the
Heritage Museum in Sandwich this morning.
(The kids opted to stay home... ) It was a fun outing!
It's quite an interesting museum. There are several museums among the most beautiful gardens and outdoor displays. The first museum we visited on the site was the Antique Car Museum.
One of the antique cars was a Ford Model A. According to the sign, it cost $530 in 1930 and the average annual income was $1425...
This is the "Old East Windmill", originally located in Orleans, MA and brought to the museum.
The grounds of the museum were covered in Day Lilies, they were gorgeous.
We even came across a Croquet Club match... I thought it was neat. I'd never seen one in person before!
The museum also has an old Carousel that you can ride. Eric and I decided we should try it out... then we decided to take a picture of ourselves while riding the Carousel...
It amused us and proved to be very difficult to get a photo with the horses going up and down!
After the museum, we stopped at an old cemetery... we walked around and took photos. Most of the old gravestones were from the mid 1800's.
It was very neat.... in a creepy old cemetery kind of way.
After that, we picked up the kids and went to the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory. We went 4 years ago while we were here and took the same photo with the kids. When we get home, I'll have to find the other photo and compare it to this one... the kids have changed quite a bit in 4 years!
Tonight we went to dinner at "
Hemisphere". This restaurant is right across the road from our rental house. So we walked... We were very impressed with the atmosphere and the views as well as the food. Everything we had was excellent!
And the clam chowder got 3 thumbs up
(by me, Kelsey and Alex) and was voted "best chowdah" of the week!
