Cape Cod ( Provincetown) June 20, 2012

Today we drove up to Provincetown on the North end of Cape Cod. On the way we stopped at Cape Cod Natl. Seashore. The lighthouse is Cape Cod Lighthouse. The picture is from the water. Provincetown is very similar to Key West. While we were there about four tour buses came in and dropped off a load of people to explore the town. It was quite busy but not over bearing . We had a great lunch at the Mayflower resturant.

We just got here today at 12:30p.m. Can't wait to check out the area.These shots are the view out our front window of Nantucket Sound.  Very windy day today about 20 knots.                                                                                                                                                  

Beach on the sound is right across the street from us.

Stonington CT. June 18, 2012

 Stonington is a small town east of Mystic on the Connecticut side of Long Island Sound. The town has very narrow streets making it very hard for two way traffic to drive on. The Main Street leads down to a beach and the Old Lighthouse Museum.

                                             

 

 

The quaint - looking tower and attached keeper's house were built in 1840 using stone from an earlier lighthouse threatened with erosion from sea water. It has not been service since 1925.                       

 

You can climb the circular stone stairway to the top of the tower.

    

The stairway stops and then there is a straight steel ladder attached to the side of the walls. There are about seven rungs on the ladder, then you have to go through this small opening to the top.  I just did get through.      

The following photos were taken from the top.

 

 

 

Mystic CT. June 16 - June 19 2012

Old Mystic, CT is a beautiful historic river town with many restored homes and businesses from the 1800's.

The second picture is of the bridge that runs across the river in the  middle of the historic downtown shopping district.

The old tall whaling ships at the Seaport were very interesting.  Having beautiful weather as you can see.  Loved Old Mystic, CT.

  

 

 

 

 

Gettysburg Pa. June 13 - June 15 2012

While in Gettysburg we toured some of the battlefields and the Historic downtown. The Historic area of downtown is much larger than we thought it was going to be. There were plenty of people visiting everything but it did not seem that crowded. Tour buses came and went. As you tour the battlefield there are monuments all over. These photos are just of Soldier's National Cemetery.

 

Road side repair June 13, 2012

When we left the Winchester campground we met with Royal RV Mobile service to have the motor replaced. It took him 40 mins. and we were on the road.                                                                   





 

 

Winchester, Va June 10- June 13

When we left Williamsburg Va. we had a slide that would not retract. It was Sunday morning. I was able to locate a mobile RV Repair service to come out and look at it. It turned out to be a bad motor and gear assembly. We were able to get the slide in and proceed to Winchester VA. Monday morning I was able to to order new motor from Fleetwood RV. and have it overnighted to campground we were at. Made plans with Rv Mobile service to meet me on the road and replace the motor. Explored Winchester and saw some historic sites.

Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown Va.

June 5- June 9, 2012. We vistied Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown Va. The weather was great for walking the towns. It got a little crowded with the kids being out of school, but we managed to see everything we wanted to.    

Governor's House

They had quite a few carriage rides.







The rest are just some photos.
