Well it's about time...

Everyone else has been doing it, so why not me. Long, long ago, I learned that often crazier things happen to me than to other people. Maybe this will help me remember them. Even better, I'll finally have a forum to rant, keeping me from screaming on street corners for a few more days.

A Day at the Beach

Tim and I decided to finally take a mini-vacation and take the ferry down to P-town for the day. I've been a few times in the past, and each time was fun. I was really looking forward to going with him and hanging out on the beach there for a bit.

We took the 9 am ferry, which landed us in the heart of P-town at about 10:30. We rented bikes from, they claimed, the oldest rental place there, and then we biked across Route 6 to the Cape Cod National Seashore. For those of you who haven't been, it's a really wonderful place. There are bike trails that run all through the sand dunes, and it's very peaceful. It's sort of the polar opposite of the more urban part of P-town. We ended up riding pretty much all of the trails, including the little spur heading out to the airport.

After our somewhat lengthy bike ride, we stopped for lunch at a little place called the Post Office cafe. It was cute with pretty tasty food. Tim had a salad and I had a corned beef sandwich. Our waiter was a little brusk, but we were having such a good time that it didn't matter. We walked a little bit around the town proper, then we hopped back on our bikes and spent the rest of the day on the beach. We ended up have such a great time there that we were late returning the bikes! I hope they found where we left them.

We had a quick dinner at a place some people on the beach had recommended to me, and then we boarded the 8:30 ferry back to Boston. All told, it was a very fun day. I think we both really enjoyed getting away from our lives here in Boston for a bit and just relaxing. We're thinking of heading back next weekend, we had such a good time!
