Road Trip to Sharon Vermont

On our way to Sharon Vermont, we saw a sign that said helicopter tours - we were close to Cape Cod - so Elder Ashton called - and away we went. We didn't end up going over Cape Cod - but did see some of Plymouth and the Duxbury area. Surpisingly enough - I wasn't even scared!

Here we go!



The helicopter we went in.










The Duxbury Beach is a 6-mile long barrier beach
They can drive their cars on the beach - park and spend the day there!


Lighthouse on the point.





Homes along the beach.






This is the Duxbury Pier Lighthouse. They would use this lighthouse to look for submarines during the war.




The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument, commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims and honors their ideals as later generally embraced by the United States.
