The Weekend



The weekend started out with gray skies, rain, cold and windy, but ended up with a nice fall day with sun, blue skies and white puffy clouds.  We had on our agenda to go whale watching and also take the ferry out to Nantucket, but the ocean did not cooperate.  The ocean was too rough and all the boats cancelled their tours.

On Saturday we decided to just go for drive.  We ended up visiting some of the towns along the Cape Cod seashore.  Towns such as Falmouth, Mashpee, Osterville, Hyannis, Yarmouth, Barnstable and Sandwich. We did some shopping and sightseeing. The JFK Hyannis Museum focuses on John F. Kennedy’s time spent in the town. There is also a memorial to President Kennedy that was erected in 1966.

On Sunday we toured the Old Sturbridge Village.  The Village depicts a rural New England town of the 1830s. They had authentically costumed staff and more than 40 original buildings, including homes, meetinghouses, a school, country store, bank, working farm, three water-powered mills, and trade shops.  We had an enjoyable day strolling through the village.


Tomorrow we head to Maine.
