Our day on Cape Cod

We made the decision yesterday to stay another day on Cape Cod and in Hyannis. This town has much to offer and even though we stayed the extra day, we did even begin to see and do all that is available.

David and I and Dale and Vicky started out the day with a quick breakfast at the motel before hitting the road for the 30 mile trip to Plymouth to see the Plymouth Rock and a replica of the Mayflower. The Mayflower II had costumed Pilgrims, totally in character, to tell visitors what life might have been like for those who landed on and settled Massachusetts. As one plaque said, "It wasn't that they made the journey, many had before them, it was that they stayed that made the settlement special."

When we got back to Hyannis, the six of us went out for lunch and then headed out for a leisurely stroll through town for shopping and sightseeing.

David, Ted, and I toured the JFK Museum. The museum is small and deals mostly with JFK's family life here on Cape Cod. Hyannis was where JFK would come to escape the pressures of being President although often members of the cabinet would come also and JFK would hold Oval Office type meetings here.

After the museum it was time for more looking around town and then all of us went on a Duckmobile Tour of the city and the bay. It was fun!

The pool at the motel is very warm. We actually held our ride plan meeting in the pool. It was decided to head out early tomorrow and eat breakfast on the road.

We didn't want to leave Hyannis without another seafood meal. David and I liked the meal we had last night so well that we went there again with Dale and Vicky.

Tomorrow we head inland for a bit and then up the coast to Maine. I'm guessing we can get good seafood there as well.
