After New York we drove north through Connecticut for a night at Groton, then on via America's Cup town Newport and all its lavish mansions to Hyannis, Massachusetts summer hang out for the Kennedy family. Then to Cape Cod, a protected area of coast famous for its beaches, lighthouses and clapboard houses. The main town on Cape Cod is Provincetown or P-Town as it is known locally. A charming seaside town with cute houses and shops.
