Cape Cod

Since we didn't make it to Fenway Park when we were in Boston, we made sure to go back the next day on our way down to Cape Cod. We didn't park and get out, it would have been $15 just to take pictures since we weren't there to see the game... not worth it, but we were there :)

Here's Joe out front

Chatham Light - Chatham, MA
Our first stop on our lighthouse tour was Chatham Light.
There was a beautiful beach with huge oceanside houses.
Three Sisters and Nauset Lights - Eastham, MA
The next light or "lights"were the Three Sisters Lighthouses only 1/3 mile away from the Nauset Lighthouse. We walked to the Three Sisters first. All 4 of these lighthouses have been moved from their original locations due to erosion, the Three Sisters were the original lights and Nauset Light was brought from Chatham later to replace them. The Three Sisters were moved back and spaced out just as they originally were.

The Three Sisters

Nauset Lighthouse
This place was beautiful. We didn't get to this beach, but Joe did go up a "closed" path to take a peek at the ocean while I stayed in the car and discovered a tick on me! From the cliff there was a huge drop off to the beach below. In their previous locations, all 4 lighthouses would have fallen off the edge.




Highland Light - Truro, MA
We only had time to make it to one more light. We hit Highland Light the northern most light on the east side of the Cape. We actually took a tour of this one and went up to the top.

This is us at the top of the lighthouse. The tour man said that exactly behind us is the sunken Titanic, and Spain.

This one to me was the most beautiful and the perfect end to the day.
