But there's more Sunrise & a note from November 1, 1975 to November 1, 2025

One of my most favorite things is watching the sunrise or set, especially at the ocean. Each morning I hoped for the clouds to clear so I could see one. Finally, our last day we got one--not spectacular like others in our past years, but satisfying.

We noticed that the resort was set up for a wedding to be held on November 1st--our anniversary. We thought about crashing the wedding, but we weren't staying that long. We decided it would be fun to leave the bride and groom a note and this is what we did. 

50 Years last day of celebrating

One morning we went to Sandwich to the beach where my parents always rented a house. I did not find any sea glass, but did bring home several rocks that I liked. Pictures from Sandwich:

We also visited the spot that we always used to visit before we left the Cape to feed the ducks. Different angle, but same spot.

We ended our little excursion by staying in Sturbridge at a room with a view of a lake, keeping with the water theme. They had an indoor pool in the middle of a courtyard. 

The place is pretty but has several drawbacks that doesn't entice us to return.

Unusual tree.

At this one, Canadian Geese welcomed us, but they were short staffed--not quite 50. 

50 Years celebrations continue

The next day after the train ride, we drove up to Provincetown for a trolley tour. It was a very informative tour. 

I didn't get a good picture of this, but all the houses in Provincetown that have that little blue plaque, were houses that were built out on a piece of land that was becoming flooded and they actually floated all these homes to where they are now.

50 Years and still making memories continued

                                                                                                                                                                      While we were at the Cape, we booked a dinner/train ride in Hyannis. We appreciated the special treatment!

The ticket taker (it was bumpy to get clear pictures!) punched my ticket in heart-shaped. 

After a delicious dinner and a yummy hot apple dessert, we were given champagne (first alcohol we have literally had in years), applauded by everyone in the train car and serenaded by saxophone.

We had to smile at the memory the little bottle of champagne brought back. When George proposed at the Chart House, he had them deliver a small bottle of champagne.
