Cruising the Cape

     Hello everyone!  Paul finished with his summer semester and it's time for traveling!!!  You have no idea how ready I was.

     On Saturday, Paul and I decided to rent a Zipcar convertible and just drive along Cape Cod.  What is Zipcar?  It's our way of getting a car without having to do a huge rental process...and it's cheap.  Basically, there are tons of cars that you can easily access, book for a time, you get to use them.  Free gas too.  It's awesome for when we have to do a Costco run once in a while.

Paul said it made him feel super manly.  I thought it was super fun


   So, off we went.  It was a cloudy day with loads of rain at several points, but we had fun all the same.  We rented a couple of bikes and biked 25 miles...you're impressed, I know.  Trust me, our legs paid for it the next day.  We went from Orleans, which is at the crook of the elbow, up close to Provincetown and back.  It poured in parts, but nothing could keep us from singing songs as we biked along.





Notice something different???? 

I got a haircut!  Bangs!

    We stopped for lunch at a sandwich stop and saw a few beaches.  It rained so hard on the last one and we were offered help from a nice guy in a truck, but we thought, well, we're already soaked, so it won't make a difference now and declined the offer.  Nice thought anyway.





Lighthouse

        We also saw a windmill.  There are lots of pictures on this post.

We pretended to be a windmill.

       Even saw a little family history.

So close...

Then, of course, we ended our wonderful excursion with a seafood feast and prowling the coast.

Some guys at the shack were joking how they beached their boat...

      All in all, a fantastic vacation.  Next post will be about Vermont, but I don't want to overload my faithful followers, so, I will probably do that next week.  Until then, cheerio!
