and wandering in to a haunted lighthouse is cool too.

I don't think it was an actual haunted lighthouse; I think they were still celebrating Halloween. But it was the oldest lighthouse on Cape Cod (if not, reasonably, the original structure) and therefore cool.

I agree with you absolutely about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the beach, and it helps if a little sand gets into them, too.

There was enough in our shoes to furnish a new promontory . . .

Glad it was such a great day.

It was awesome.
