The Final Day

Originally on Friday we looked into possibly going on the seal watch excursion again but when I called them in the morning, they didn't have six seats left on the boat so we called off that idea.  So we then decided to go over to Hyannis and take their duck mobile tour.  In case you haven't seen them the duck mobiles are these amphibious landing craft from the WWII era that have mostly ended up as tour vehicles in various cities where they take you on a land and water tour.  C and I had taken one a few years ago when we went to Halifax, NS.  We took the noon tour which was pretty decent if not super long.  The harbor cruise part was the better half, with the first part including a fair wait in traffic.  The driver and tour guide were good although a little more about Hyannis history would have been good.  After we took the tour we ate at the British Beer Company restaurant just across on Main St.  It was really good.  We had a big plate of nachos that were good.  I had their onion soup and a roast beef sandwich that were also good.  After lunch we headed down the road to Sandwich to see the Sandwich Glass Museum which has a large collection of 19th century glass from the former Boston & Sandwich Glass Company.  The visit included a glass blowing demo and a short film.  We enjoyed the visit there.  After that we drove back along 6A past the various antique stores and shops and B&Bs.  C and I dropped the others off at the hotel and then made some brief stops at the Yankee Candle store, a candy store, a coffee stop at McDonald's and a value book store before returning to the hotel.  We then spent time at the adult pool (which apparently is adults only after 8pm and not the whole time) which was nice.  We got cleaned up and went back to the Hearth & Kettle for our last dinner in Cape Cod.  I had their cheeseburger club - basically a cheeseburger combined with a BLT.  I also had a hot fudge sundae that was good.  We finished the night with a short stop at the little arcade at the hotel where we managed to get a couple of stuffed toys and balls out of the crane machines.  Back to the rooms.
