Cape Cod Day 1: Travel (7/28)

The last week of July was the annual Walker family vacation on Cape Cod. Shannon came out to spend the first weekend with us. She and I left Connecticut early and rendezvoused with the rest of the clan at the Bird Watcher's General Store around noon. After browsing the store for a bit we headed next door to get some Chinese food for lunch.

While we were in the restaurant, there was a light rain shower. When we left, the rain had stopped but it was still pretty cloudy. So, we headed over to the Cape Cod National Seashore visitor's center to look at the exhibits and catch a viewing of "The Sands of Time".

By this time we could finally get into our summer rental. After unpacking, Shannon, my parents, and I all took a drive to Nauset Light Beach for a swim. Refreshed, we came back to the house and had dinner.

After dinner, we made the short drive over to First Encounter Beach to do some birdwatching and watch the sun go down. The bird activity was fairly light but the sunset was nice.
