Foxboro, Mass (near Boston)

As we continue our trek down the eastern coast, the Boston area was next on our agenda. My cousins Dave and Sue live in the Foxboro area so we found a really nice campground (courtesy of my cousins) called Normandy Farms Camping Resort. They were having a Halloween Weekend so they only had Thursday night available since they were sold out for the weekend!

We really enjoyed visiting with my cousins and they invited us to dinner, so after some great food, wine and conversation, we sadly had to head back to the campground. Of course the next morning we decided to take advantage of the heated indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa. Yes, life is tough, but someone has to live it!! Of course we had to get our car hooked up in the pouring rain since we figured on having some FUN in the pool first.

We figured we would head for Provincetown, park the RV in a small town near the Cape and head into Cape Cod by car, which we did. We were not in the town long since we got a late start. We thought we would head to the Cape Cod Light. It was the 150 year anniversary of the lighthouse. It had been moved to its current location from the edge of the cliff several years ago. Looking at the cliff erosion, it was a positive move!

We then wanted to see the beach area and the shoreline so we headed towards the sea. Even though it was not the nicest day, several people were at the shore. It was interesting to see the difference between the North Carolina shore and this one in Cape Cod. Here is another place we would have liked to spend more time, but we were on a schedule, of sorts, to get to another cousins house in the middle of Massachusetts.
