Cape Cod National Seashore

August 3 , 2011
Great thunderstorm last night.  Rumbled and lightning, steady rain but no wind so it didn't feel threatening.  LeAnn is sleeping in the little tent that frank uses when he goes to the Boundary Waters in Canada.  The ground here is sand and pine needles so there is no mud as would of been in the Midwest.
After a hardy breakfast of eggs and bacon that Frank prepared on his one burner stove we went to the beach. It was beautiful.  We got in on the Golden Pass for National Parks that frank got when he turned 62.  We have used it for discounted camping and free entry to National Parks and Corp of Engineer areas.the three of us watched the waves come in on the Atlantic side of Cape Cod.  Sun was shining, sand as far as you could see either directions.  I applied suntan lotion but both LeAnn and I got spotty burns where we missed application.  
After we had our fill of sand and beach we drove another 20 miles to the end of the peninsula to Provincetown.  It was exceedingly crowded with small narrow streets and many little specialty shops.  We bought sandwiches to eat at a little cafe and proceeded to walk down the street paralleling the coastline. LeAnn talked us into purchasing two slices of cake which the three of us proceeded to consume with gusto.  Unfortunately, we drove back to the campground in a sugar stupor.
It was a great day.  LeAnn's birthday is this Saturday so it was nice we could spend a little quality time together before we head back tomorrow to Iowa.
