Fleet week, in pictures

This is it, I think. My last Wellfleet post - I've got to get my head back into Life At Work and, in a few days, start thinking about Chicago. But first - the pictures...and some words.



I call this: One Shoe and Endless Sky. It's Great Island at 6:30 in the morning, because we are Perfect Parents - and, well, that's what time low tide was at. I think my core temperature is finally coming back up to normal.

I'm still kicking myself. WHY didn't I take my MIL, Mother and SIL to see this?



And would we have been the only women there?

Okay, back to my artistic beach photographs:



My niece calls that kind of shell Grandma's Toenail which totally skeeves me out. On the other hand, it keeps me from collecting MORE stuff from the beach.



Same beach. Sunset.



Two grandmothers (Grammy and Ma) leaving the beach. Can I tell you? The grandmothers were pretty damn cute at the beach...and in town too...
Look, here they are in town:



they bought the same sweatshirt. They were wearing the same outfit to begin with! All of a sudden I turned around in Ptown (which, you know, is sort of gay mecca)and realized that we had our own lesbian couple! And, the next day?



SAME OUTFITS AGAIN! I know!

Back in Provincetown -



beautiful European travelers were forced to don outerwear! It was cold, people.

Neveryoumind. I bought some things -



like my new necklace. And I ate a clam roll.
I sort of missed the boat on this one though -



doll parts. I kind of wish I had bought some doll parts.
Ah, well.

I'll close with one last shot of Youngest defying nature by skimboarding in gale-force winds and rough seas:



I was a little nervous watching him that day.
Fortunately, the bartender at The Wicked Oyster makes a very nice cranberry Mojito.
