Day 6 - Chatham, Provincetown, Newport, Mystic and Boston

I woke up in the charming B&B, The Cranberry Inn. I went downstairs for breakfast and the Innkeeper (whom I hadn't met) called me by name. Talk about service! I had some breakfast and checked out soon after.

I drove the 40 minutes to the end of Cape Cod to Provincetown. My friend, Rev Tuttle said it best on my facebook: "It's just like Hillcrest, but with a pier." (haha) It was a super cute town to walk around. Tons of restaurants and small shops. I also got to try my very first Lobster Roll...it was awesome! I am totally hooked now.

I have a thing for Lighthouses so on my way out of Cape Cod I noticed a sign pointing towards one in Truro. I headed over there to check it out! It had an interesting history. Because the cliffs are so unstable they had to move it back quite a bit about 40 years ago. A very cool spot for photos!

The drive down to Mystic, CT was 3 hours from Provincetown so I kept myself occupied with Sirius radio and my P&S camera!

I stopped off in Newport RI after my mother wrote me on Facebook telling me we had a family home there. Well, not us, but our ancestors were from there. I went on a wild goose chase to find a certain house only to find out she gave me the wrong info. After getting the right address, I found the house but I'm not so sure it was the right one :( Below, a pic of my car I've been driving all over!

I got back on the road and made it to Mystic with an hour of sunlight left! What a charming little town! I definitely want to come back here and spend a longer amount of time. I found a good parking spot and walked down to the drawbridge in town.

Of course, my whole point of the trip was to eat at Mystic Pizza. I adore that movie and it has special meaning to my Sigma Kappa girls :) I was seriously giddy to be there!

The pizza was pretty good! I have a menu that my parents got for me years ago...I took this one too. I'm curious to see if anything has changed! They had a ton of photos from the movie on the walls. It was a neat experience.

Mystic is a tiny town (where everything closes at 6!) and it was still early so I decided to make the 2 hour trek to Boston. I drove over to Harvard since it was one place I hadn't visited but wanted to. It was too dark to really experience it. Plus there were a ton of students out...who liked to walk in front of your car! I swear I almost hit 4 people! I got frustrated and left Cambridge quickly!

My flight leaves at 1:30pm tomorrow. And I did turn off my car headlights this time. I think.
