Cape Cod

On Monday, we decided to get out of the city and hit Cape Cod!  Our first stop was in Provincetown.  As we were driving in, Brent made the observation that there were a lot of gay couples.  I didn't really notice so I thought he was exaggerating... but he wasn't.  Provincetown was having a celebration to mark the ten year anniversary of legalization of the same sex marriage.  The only weird part was that it was on memorial day.

This is the beach.  It looks really pleasant but it was really cold.

Cool picture.

We tried putting harper in the sand.  She didn't enjoy it much.

Have you noticed how we are all wearing the same outerwear?!  When you live in Las Vegas you don't really know what cold is so you always forget to prepare correctly.

Provincetown was really commericalized and it lacked the charm of many of the beaches that I enjoy most.  That doesn't mean Harper didn't fulfill a dream!

We finished in Provincetown and continued up the coast.  There were a lot of little picturesque towns along the way.

We did have to stop at this lighthouse.

It was a really pretty light house but on the tour we learned that some historical organization demanded that the lighthouse be preserved despite the fact that they would need to pay 1.5 million to move it and it would never actually have a purpose anymore and despite all the lighthouses that are on the cape... Kinda made me think we need to stop spending money just because someone really likes lighthouses.

The view from the top was neat.  All you could see was ocean but it was still pretty.  You can see me at the top.  Brent and I had to take turns climbing the very steep stairs, apparently it would have been "dangerous" to take Harper.

We finally hit the beach, determined to touch the water.  It was chilly and rocky... Give me the pacific coast any day!

It was a really nice day just driving and experiencing the Cape.  Traffic was a pain getting back but overall it was totally worth drive!
