Yesterday we headed out to the Cape for the day. It was a beautiful day, and we decided to do a little exploring of some places we hadn't yet been to.
Here Stefan is enjoying an icecream cone for the first time. Oh boy, that was pretty exciting. The giggles and smiles made that cone worth every penny and mess that it was!

As we were driving along the coast we spotted this windmill. We noticed the doors were open so decided to stop by and see if we could go in. Sure enough, we got to see the inside of the corn mill powered by the wind. This mill is from the 1700's. We got to go to the top of the mill which was kind of neat. As you can see from the pictures, the scenery right outside was beautiful as well.
Our final place (and our main reason for going to the Cape at all yesterday) was for dinner at the Lobster Claw. We had received a $50 gift certifictate to this restaurant courtesy of our classical radio station. I am seriously beginning to wonder if any body else listens to the classical station because we sure have gotten our fair share of prizes from them! We aren't going to complain though! We enjoyed a good dinner complete with Clam Chowder (we are in New England you know!). After dinner we decided to drive the entire length of the Cape. Just because. We went to the very tip and enjoyed the beautiful coast along the way. You see pictured the Pilgrim's Monument. We only drove by as you had to pay to go in. We stopped at one beach just before heading home. I didn't put Stefan in his swimming trunks because it was late and the air a little chilly already. I knew the water would be freezing so we were just stopping to walk in the sand a little. Well, Stefan had a different idea. We had just been to the beach, for real, a few days earlier so he knew that he was supposed to go in. He promptly sat right down in the water. Oh well!
It was a fun day--time with our little family enjoying the beauty of God's creation. Oh--and free dinner?-- that wasn't a bad deal either:-)
