…in New England that is!
Okay…we have seen ALOT of New England and a couple of weekends ago we put the final touches on our exploring adventures here in the Great North East.
We went to Cape Cod and New Bedford, Massachusetts, and then to Newport and Providence, Rhode Island.
Places steeped in history and spotted with wonderful coast line beaches and ports.
And here is what we saw!
Our first Cape Cod Beach, Sandy Neck!
And here is cute little Barnstable, Cape Cod, MA!
The cute kite above our beach hotel, Dennisport, Cape Cod, MA
On our way to Provincetown we stopped in Chatham, Cape Cod, MA
Marconi Beach where the first United States Transatlantic Wireless Telegram Station used to be…where Roosevelt sent the first Trans-Atlantic telegram to the King of England in 1903.
Provinctown (P-Town) nearing sunset, Cape Cod, MA
One of the tips of Cape Cod, Woods Hole, where you catch the ferry to the famed island of Martha’s Vineyard.
The Whaling Museum in New Bedford, MA…where whaling was once the big thing there.
Sailboats, a common scene in Newport, RI…As well as great buildings and architecture!
And then there was Providence, RI where the State Capitol building is way bigger than California’s (California = most populated state / Rhode Island = 8th least populated)
The Great North East
Countless freakin’ cute villages with red barns, steeples, covered bridges, and veggie stands. Hundreds of islands off the well fished coasts with lobster buoys bobbing away in the blue ocean water. Mountains and valleys covered in overflowing amounts of green in the summer, red, yellow and gold in the fall, and white in the winter. Squirrels, birds, beavers, skunks, deer and even moose sprinkle the countryside dodging in and out of trees, yards and roads.
This is the land called New England and it is our home…for now.
