After we visited Buffalo, New York, to see Niagara Falls on June 30, we drove east towards Cape Cod, Massachusetts<\/strong>, which I wanted to see for a long time. This day we drove 515 miles<\/strong>, about nine hours<\/strong> driving <\/strong>included the resting time. We used Interstate 90,495 and 6. Cape Cod is like a peninsula that is about 70 miles from Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

This place is famous because there is a summer house of the Kennedy family. I have been interested in Jackie Kennedy’s life, and I read several books about her.\u00a0 So I wanted to see with my own eyes Cape Cod, where she had spent many years. Then my dream came true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once we crossed the bridge, there was Cape Cod. And we found a sign spelling out \u201cCape Cod\u201d with shrubbery. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we were getting closer to the middle of Cape Cod, many trees, canals, and old houses were everywhere. It completely changed the view from Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sightseeing in Cape Cod<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there are many small towns in Cape Cod. Unfortunately, we couldn’t visit all of these towns, but I would like to introduce some.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2460 Hyannis Port and Kennedy Museum<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hyannis Port is famous because the Kennedy family’s summer house is there. We visited the museum\u2014many explanations of Kennedy’s family background and many pictures of JFK and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy. Most of the photographs were rare which were taken in private time for the Kennedy family. \u00a0Also, we could watch a short film about the Kennedy family and this town.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought that Hyannis port was a more popular place. However, it was a small town and a few restaurants and souvenir shops. So it was a bit disappointing for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2461 Swimming in Cape Cod<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are a bunch of beaches on Cape Cod. We chose a beach called Mayflower Beach<\/strong>, which was close to our hotel. This beach is on the Cape Cod Bayside (not the Atlantic side).<\/strong> The water was clear, shallow, and quiet. There is a parking lot (not gratis), shower, bathing room, and a small kiosk<\/span><\/p>\n
