After our impromptu lighthouse tour we headed to the National Seashore in Provincetown. We decided to picnic at Race Point Beach, which I have visited one other time a few years ago. Rachel and I did a day trip via ferry to P-town in 2008. Without much planning we ended up walking from the town center to Race Point because we wanted to see the National Seashore. It was a hot, sticky summer day and the walk was much farther than we anticipated (and on a remote road through beech trees and sand dunes). Once we reached the beach it was totally worth it, though - beautiful and windy and remote - it feels like you're at the end of the world (probably because you sort of are!).
The kids were keen to hit the beach and check out the ocean, but we had to walk down the sand dunes to get there.
We set up our picnic blanket and then checked out the shore.
We enjoyed our picnic with such a beautiful view.
They weren't too tired to help Daddy grill turkey burgers when we got home, though!

Zoe does not like the sound of the waves hitting the shore, so she covered her ears much of the time we spent on the beach :)

Let the burying begin!!!
After spending a few hours at the beach we packed up and headed into P-town in search of some ice cream.

We found a nice ice cream shop and ordered S&Z their very first ice cream cones!!!!
Zoe got chocolate,
And Silas wanted vanilla.
We walked around for awhile and then headed home with two very tired kids.
