We finally hit the road for our 2019 Summer North East trip. We visited Mystic Seaport, Cape Cod, Salem and Boston. We drove on a beach, rode a train and killed the battery in the Jeep. Let the fun begin.
We went to mystic seaport in connecticut. We found free RV parking in the South lot so we stayed there during the day but you cannot overnight park there. We stayed for a half a day in mystic. That was enough for us. My daughter Melinda could spend two or three days at mystic. We then took a walk at coogan farm nature center. We then went to South Dartmouth Massachusetts and visited horse neck State Park where you can camp on the beach. After that we went over to Easton on Cape cod and we saw a great sunset at Rock harbor. Here on the East Coast it's not very often we get to see the sunset over the water. But this was a great spot for it. We then hopped on our bike and road for 10 MI to wellfleet. We did some shopping had dinner on the water at the harbor. Next day we headed over to Provincetown
This is the town that's not for everyone that's for sure. But we love it for its high energy and fun. A couple of shops that we love there is the Marine store, shop therapy, and we also like the shows and whale watching. We got a permit to drive on the beach at race point. That was a lot of fun with our jeep. You can camp on the beach with an RV but there's a list of rules and regulations and one of those rules is you need to have a spare we don't have a spare for our rig. We went over to tin Pan Alley on commercial Street and fell in love with the place. We then left the cape after a few days and drove out to Newton junction New Hampshire. We stayed at their place via boondockers welcome. And we ended up taking a train into boston. In Boston we walked to the Paul Revere House we were hesitant to enter, but the $5 was well worth it. We then walked along the bay. It was a beautiful day which was not common because Massachusetts had set a record for that month for the wettest month ever. We went over to the Boston tea party museum but did not go in cuz we did not feel it was worth 30 bucks. We walked to the oldest cemetery in the US the sword John Hancock and Paul Revere's Graves and also store Mary goose who wrote mother goose stories. We then walk to Harvard and Cambridge colleges we stopped in a cheers and had a drink and yelled Norm. While sitting there we talked about the TV show and we decided to watch every episode. We had dinner at the Russell house and had muscles I never liked muscles in the past but these were delicious. That day we walked around 11 miles so at the end of the day we got an Uber and took it back to North station. We got back to the Jeep and our battery was dead. A passer by graciously offered a jump start for us.
The next day we went and bought a power pack to jump start cheap if this ever happened again. After that we went over to Salem Massachusetts. I had been to Salem years back and loved it. At that time I visited it with my daughter Melinda and this time I was seeing it through adult only eyes. Unfortunately this was before the summer start. So it was quiet and empty. Another thing that we noticed was it is a lot more touristy now with t-shirt shops in the search. In the shops people working there were on their smartphones and not really paying attention to the customers. This is not how I remembered Salem in the past.

We found that we love our Thule Hullavator https://amzn.to/2Ei3XLq
