Sightseeing on Cape Cod -- non bike ride

After watching the Royals beat the Red Sox, we headed to the Cape for the rest of the weekend. This was our rental putt-putt to take us there.
Since the weather was iffy as to how much of a downpour it was going to be, we temporarily postponed riding the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and visited the JFK Hyannis Museum on Saturday morning.

JFK has a doppleganger. And, no, this was not planned. It's not just the shirt and the shorts. It's the hair, too! Uncanny.
Supper at Red Face Jack's.
On Sunday, after riding the Shining Sea Bikeway, we headed to the east side of the Cape for beach day. We chose Nauset Beach because after lengthy searching, it was the only one we found that offered beach chair rentals. Liam's Snack Shack offered them for rent.
Not the best quality pix because I had to zoom in so much, but I like these seagull pictures, especially the one with the pretzel!

Sadly, Nauset Beach eroded 60 to 70 feet during the winter of 2017-18 due to repeated ferocious winter storms. Liam's concession stand was demolished the following March because there was simply not enough land remaining beneath it to keep it from eventually washing into the sea.  Where we are sitting in this picture is now the ocean.
