Happy Friday, friends. Continuing on with our Cape adventures, one of the days that we were down on the Cape, we headed to Provincetown, also known as P’Town. It’s at the northern tip of the Cape and is actually the site of the Mayflower landing in 1620, talk about historical. One of the things we wanted to do was see the Pilgrim Monument, but due to COVID it was actually closed, keep that in mind if you are planning a trip! It’s only 45 minutes from Brewster so on one of the non-beach days, we decided to make our way there.
It’s a very popular Cape destination, so it felt a bit more crowded than we had been used to, but the town has a mandatory mask area with a fine if you are caught without one which was working since everyone was wearing masks including kids.
We didn’t spend the entire day in Provincetown, but if it was more of a beach day, we would have ventured to Race Point Beach which is their number one attraction.

What we did do was stroll up and down Commercial Street while I hopped into a few stores and galleries.
We took a few breaks to throw some shells back into the water – which is Sophia’s favorite thing.
Then it was time for a well known lobster roll from Lobster Pot Express. The Lobster Pot is the full restaurant while the Lobster Pot Express has a minimal menu with their well known favorites and is meant to grab and go. We would have eaten at the restaurant, but they only had indoor seating, so it wasn’t ideal. Right next to the Lobster Pot Express is the beach with a few picnic tables, so we enjoyed our lunch there.

Last year we were thinking of doing a day trip to Provincetown from Boston utilizing the fast ferry since it’s a little over an hour by boat. I’d love to make it back for another day trip or weekend since it was such a short trip for us.
Looks quaint and charming and I’m glad you got your lobsta roll! Happy Weekend!
It's so beautiful and historical! I love your pictures!
I know Sophia is just at the best age to enjoy doing trips with & seeing it through her eyes. That pic of her feet in the water – pure joy!
What a quaint little place! I'm dying to make it up around that area one of these days, but it's not looking like 2020 will be our year. Haha. You got some really sweet pictures!
PTown! Such a fun spot and it looks like you had a great day there!
What a beautiful family! The pictures are lovely

Those lobster rolls look delicious! Sounds like a fun day there!
Wondering where to go in 2020? Things to do has ranked as the best include a remote, idyllic island and the design capital.
Gorgeous photos! Great travel tip about the ferry from Boston – sounds like Boston is a great travel base. You mentioned about it being a landing point for the first English to arrive – I often think how brave they were making the move, and how sick adn releived they must have been to arrive there, but maybe how excited too! Would love to learn more about the history of the first colonists. All your fresh fish pictures make me want to eat more of it – I only see food like the lobster rolls really in Scotland (Oban) -they look yummo!
