Massachusetts Vacation Day 6: Wellfleet, Chatham, and Dennis!

Hi everyone, it's Reese! Here's what we did today (Yay, it's on time!):

This morning around 11:30, we drove about 45 minutes (with traffic) to Wellfleet. We went to the flea  market. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything doll-sized! :( We were there for about 30 minutes.

Next, we drove about 20 minutes to Chatham. After taking 15 minutes to find a parking spot, we walked to the upper deck of the pier. We saw seven seals and many boats. It was so amazing; I loved it! :)

We were going to eat lunch there, but none of us really were in a fish mood, so we decided to head home and eat there. By this time, it was 2:30 p.m., and we were all starving! After we drove home, we made lunch.

Around 5 p.m., we decided to head to our favorite beach, Mayflower Beach in Dennis. (We were actually going to go to a place called Breakwater Landing in Brewster, but we couldn't see any water. It might have just been low tide, but we went to Mayflower Beach.) Unlike Monday, the tide was very low this time. I think we walked about two football fields just to reach the ocean! Low tide is my favorite because there is so much sand! We took some photos there and we will eventually compile them into a photoshoot for YouTube. I think they are some of our best photos yet! :D

By the time we left around 8 p.m., we were all getting pretty hungry. After driving around Dennis, we found a pizza place (that I can't remember the name of). We ordered a cheese pizza and decided to drive around Dennis during the 20 minute wait time. Our first stop was driving past the house my mom and her family rented in 2008 and 2010. (Fun fact: Maggie went to Cape Cod in 2008! :)) We then drove to Scargo Tower, a tall tower on the shores of Scargo Lake. We climbed the spiral stairs inside and reached the 20 feet top. The view never gets less amazing! It is truly breathtaking. :) After we took some photos at Scargo Tower, we headed back to pick up the pizza and drove home.

It was a pretty long day, but it was a lot of fun! We plan to go back to Skull Island before we leave on Saturday. We don't know what we are doing tomorrow, but I'll keep you posted. I miss everyone back home, but I don't want to leave on Saturday!

Love,
Reese <3
