beantown to ptown

on our final summer vacation, gary and i went to boston and then to provincetown.

- i miss my pooks. it was so fun sitting around, telling stories and laughing at some of our college memories together. someday, jeremy and gary will understand what's so great about iu! and if we lived in boston, i would steal jeremy and erin's house out from underneath them! it's gorgeous! oh, and i want a deck. gary and i were so content relaxing on the deck. there's just something about sitting outside, with a drink in hand.

- after walking around beacon street to do some shopping, we stopped at cheers for lunch. while the outside looks inviting for norm to walk in for a beer, the inside would leave him lost and surprised. eating lunch in the oak room, i became obsessed with clam chowder! and it doesn't matter where you are, you will run into someone you know. i'm still wondering if i know this individual from the dorms, the ed school, or the bars.


- boston is a pretty city.


- enjoying history, i wanted to see something historical. erin and gary were troopers, walking the freemdom trail with me!


- plymouth rock is overrated.


- it's pretty safe to assume that we will get the gayest car at the rental place.


- provincetown was great. there were so many friendly people everywhere! after we switched hotels, these were the two views from our place:

our hotel was located right on commercial avenue

our balcony overlooked the harbor

- it's not as easy as you would think to drive around hyannis, looking for the kennedy compound. but we were not giving up. we're pretty sure that we saw it, with a large american flag on the edge of the beach.


- i've enjoyed all the vacations we've taken this summer, but i was ready to come home. it seems like we've been away more this summer than home. if only i could take a vacation from all the vacations!! it's back to work monday, though....
