This is the second and last post of my Mom's trip to the Cape. I was able to get a few good shots of the highlights of the trip. We went on a Sunset Dune Tour on the tip of the Cape in Provincetown on the first night. We were taken through the Dunes in big Suburbans (only the dune tour drivers, the national coast guard, and the shack dwellers are allowed in the Dunes). We were able to get out at certain spots and take pictures and then we ended up on one of the only beaches on the Cape that actually shows the sun set over the ocean due to the angle. I definitely recommend it!

{there are only 19 shacks left and they have been passed down through generations}

{I'm lucky enough to snap the picture...God is the real artist here}
{we brought wine from the Truro Winery which is right next to the cottage}
{we stopped by before heading to p-town for the dune tour}
{grapes....lotssss of grapess}
{a very cool way to grow an apple tree - it has been spread out across the side of the building}
In other news...we survived hurricane Irene! It actually wasn't that bad for us - there was a lot of wind and rain and a few limbs on the ground. We were lucky enough to keep our power. We did get drenched at the Kenny Chesney concert... this is the only picture I took on my phone of us... from that point on I was soaking wet! ...but it was so much fun, Zac Brown Band and Kenny put on great concert! (might have been a few tears at the beginning of the concert from all the sudden being a little homesick and missing my country roots, but by the end of the night Paul and I were dancing in the stands).
A pic from Paul's phone is below...we danced here right by the stage in the pouring rain. It's hard to tell but we are completely soaked! The light part a the top of paul's shorts is actually dry... that's the only way to tell how wet we were.
