In planning out fun things to do on our vacation I came across a National Park Service list of scenic routes and overlooks on the Outer Cape. We knew we wanted to go to Provincetown and one of the National Seashore beaches one day, so I printed out the info about overlooks and we had it in our stack of stuff.
On Wednesday the forecast looked great so we hit the road first thing for our mini road trip and day of exploring. We first stopped at Nauset Light Beach in Eastham because it was listed on the NPS sheet as a scenic route. There just happened to be a lighthouse there as well!
I love lighthouses - they remind me of the North Shore of MN, as well as a trip I took to the Oregon coast over a decade ago. When we saw a sign for the Three Sisters Lighthouses just a mile away, we decided to stop.
The next stop on the scenic tour list was the Highland Lighthouse and Highland House in Truro. This was my favorite of the 3 lighthouses. It is also the oldest Cape Cod lighthouse.

The kids played with rocks while Derek and I looked around,
There was a breathtaking scenic overlook here.
In the gift store I found an autographed copy of a children's book called "Cape Cod Magic". This will be one of ways we relive our awesome vacation all year long...
So happy we made these stops on our way to P-town!
