Cape Cod Day 2

Halloween was present everywhere on our ride north to Provincetown.

How about these witches?

Loved the dunes on these beaches.

Highland Light House in North Truro.....one of three light houses we visited today.

Just finished eating lobster rolls at Lobster Pot in Provincetown

Cape Cod Day 1

Today dawned windy and cold, but then we had sunshine and started our day of exploring, shopping, eating and driving through towns seen on the map.

Wine tasting and picked out wines to add to T-giving menu.

Beautiful shoreline

Wood's Hole which is where one boards the ferry for Martha's Vineyard

The vineyard

Purple leaves complete a close-up of grape vines.

Snowy ride to Cape Cod

Snow before Halloween?  A foreshadowing of a really bad winter????

Jim outside a rest stop in NJ where it was really snowing and roads and sidewalks were neither plowed nor shovelled.

Arrived in Cape Cod for a week's stay on the ocean where a nor'easter was blowing when we arrived!

Choo-choo

On Saturday we went with our AARP group to the Wilmington Western RR station and boarded a steam-driven train for an enjoyable trip through the Red Clay Valley in PA.

Such a great photo op....Jim took some fascinating pictures of this volunteer-run operation.

The gang

Well here we are as we celebrated birthdays last weekend at our picnic at Quiet Waters Park.  What a fun bunch!  We reconvene in a few weeks at the Outer Banks, NC for our Destination Thanksgiving.

Mums

Following a cool weather spell, mums in the neighborhood have burst forth with Fall color.

Birthday picnic......

Oblige me here, the  party for family October birthdays was just so much fun that there were few pictures I deleted.  The ones I included show just a little bit of the fun we had on a sunny, windy Saturday afternoon in Quiet Waters Park near Annapolis.

Will is telling me that he has fun with so many cousins to play with.

Cousins line up for birthday desserts. Each birthday person picks his/her favorite treat and another bakes it.  I always make David's fav....this year pecan pie, and Ann Marie bakes me a delish apple pie.

Bobby's birthday gift....and yes, he will run in them.  He is OLD enuf now to not care what others think!

Ann Marie's expertise  in Laynie's cupcakes.

Opening gifts....I received an amazing back pack from the kids and grands.  It will hold my water, laptop, lunch, and "stuff".  I will try it out when we travel to Cape Cod in a few weeks.

..and a new MacBook Air   (thanks, Will for your help in opening my gifts.)

Laynie got her red skinny jeans.....

....and a pretty necklace.

Ella and Will enjoying the playground.

Hey!  This looks like one of my yoga positions!

Larry likes his birthday beer.

Kylie, Keelyn, Eva, AM and Jack set up.

Here they come!

Jack on a comfy swing.

Appetizer with a Halloween twist!
