For our 50th anniversary we decided to go to one of our favorite places, Cape Cod. We splurged for a ground floor room on the ocean in South Yarmouth. It was beautiful. Here was the view from our room.
It was beautiful but overcast every day.
There was a huge colony of seagulls who lived here. I joked that there were 50 for our anniversary. There were actually more!
But I loved watching these little guys best of all--how quickly they move their little legs! I believe they are sandpipers.
On afternoon, a little bunny hung out with us munching away on the grass. He didn't mind us sitting there for quite a while.
The day before we were to leave, the winds picked up. At the National Seashore we could barely walk the beach. These were the waves back at South Yarmouth.
This is the view from the ocean of where we stayed.
Now the big mystery for us was that we noticed (how could we not) a pickup truck on the beach across the river (I believe it was Seagull Beach) and it was parked as far down as it could (though the park was closed at dusk) and pointing its lights into the ocean. I saw them a little one night and assumed they were night fishing or something. But the next night was when the wind picked up and they surely weren't fishing. The lights did light up the white caps well and I wondered if they were photographers, but I would say that was not the case either because they were there from dusk to dawn! All night they were there with their lights on the ocean. I asked several people at the resort and no one had any clue. Unfortunately, this appears it will be a great mystery for us.
Next post more of our celebrating.
