From Nickerson State Park to Wellfleet and back. Plus a loop inside the park and stops for the beach, lunch and ice cream! (Couldn’t do exact route we followed around the pond, but the mileage is close enough! 🙂
Feel free to add the pictures from your phone 🙂

Ok here we go….

“Good morning, I don’t want to get out of bed, so I’ll take pictures of you instead!”

Yum yum, what a hearty breakfast! Bacon, eggs, and toast.

You prepare for the big ride. Action shot of teeth brushing!

“I’m going to squinch up my nose to make a focused face and show you where we are on the map, even though you clearly aren’t paying attention because you keep taking pictures of me.”

Dang, you look so cool when you get on that bike.

The beach! The calm before the hunger storm. 

Looking radical in my sunglasses with a very wide stance. 
What a wonderful ride! 🙂

One for the house, one for the well.

My dad went up and drove the backhoe a little bit, with Brandon on the phone telling him how to. He was pretty excited about it, ha. 

I guess they are at 220 feet for the well. They hit water, but then they hit clay, which apparently trapped the water above it in, so they actually need to keep going. Hopefully they’ll get what they want at around 250!
