Photo-A-Day #4028

Today we got up early and drove to Wellfleet to the Audubon Sanctuary. Along the way we picked up Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne to accompany us on this adventure. Many years ago I went on hiking adventures with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne. We’d done part of the Appalachian Trail, some Snowshoeing and more. So, when we were thinking of some adventures on our staycation e knew that we had to catch up with them and have them along on our trip to the Audubon Sanctuary.

We went to this location last year during our vacation on the Cape. It was our Family Adventure Day at Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary. We met up with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne last year, after the adventure. But this year, they got to be a part of the adventure. We took the trail down to the beach and got to see the fiddler crabs, the tide come in and more.

Eva was very much into observing the crabs. She got very upset whenever anyone walked near them and frightened them back into their holes. There was a lot of shushing. Then the tide came in and water filled up all the holes. You can hear the bubbling sounds when you watch the video.

Andrew had a fun time digging in the sand with Uncle Wayne. They were digging trenches for the water and as the water came in for the tides the trenches would fill up. Andrew was very excited to make a “B”. He was also excited to hold a dead fiddler crab. He had no fear. Eva, not so much, she wanted nothing to do with it.

After our adventure we went to the Bookstore Restaurant and met up with my grandparents. We had a delicious lunch with everyone. Allison and I both got fish tacos. Eva attacked a side of buffalo wings (she’s loving them) and Andrew was thrilled for a hot dog.

After lunch Uncle Wayne took me up further and we took some photos of the Kia Sedona. Allison, Aunt Cindy and the kids went to the playground that was right next to the restaurant. After a few photos it was time to get back on the road and get home.

When we got home my parents arrived. They were going to watch the kids so that Allison and I could go for a “date night”. Even though we had fish tacos for lunch we went to a new Mexican restaurant called Casa Vallarta. The food was incredible. We could not believe the portions and they not only gave us chips and salsa. They gave us a refried bean dip and then some chicken taquitos on the house. Then the actual meal came out and it was huge. After that we got the fried icecream and it was delicious.
