Cape Cod

After two weeks away, we are off by ourselves in Irv again....

We have SO enjoyed visiting with our various relatives and SO appreciative of their grace and hospitality. We left Rutland, and the wonderful historic home of Stacy's niece, Briar, and her family, and ventured south.

The gang...(L to R) Gus, Briar, Maya, Stacy, Jack and (front) Niko
Tonight we are camped just shy of Cape Cod, in Carver, Massachusetts. We are in a lovely campground,  bordered by cranberry bogs and forest.

The pond at our campground 
We ventured into Plymouth, Massachusetts today, where America began.  We are here at the very end of the "season", which makes it very uncrowded and...well...closed.  But we viewed Plymouth Rock...

Plymouth Rock...it used to be bigger
We went to the Pilgrim cemetery....



We visited the Plymouth Pilgrim Museum...

Tribute to Pilgrim women
And generally just wandered around Plymouth, soaking up the history and beauty.

The old Pilgrim church (sort of...it's the 5th church on this site)
Tomorrow....Cape Cod!!
