Landed at Logan Airport, Boston

Provincetown III ferry ride from Boston

Map of the boat position as we travelled.

Met a guy from Chicago on the way over.

Took a selfie when we got to shore

Carried our luggage from the dock to the house Jamie & Phillip rented, not realizing how far it was. (1.5 miles)

Our place at 2 Commercial Street (or 1 Pilgrims Landing)

Around the side is the actual main entrance

The house across from ours was VERY modern.

Walking in the front door, we have the lounge, kitchen and dining room.

The dining table seats 8 with a mirrored surface

Bill loved the disco ball vase in the corner

Upstairs from the front door, we find the TV lounge

The synthetic rug is probably easy to wash

Art by Cassandra Complex. She is a popular Provincetown artist.

Next we walk into the ensuite for the primary bedroom. The shower is very big.

The toilets were very... involved.

The best part was the narrow wood panels on either side of the sink...

...which slid out to reveal huge storage racks for all the goodies.

Next we move into the primary bedroom

The zebra rug made a statement

Going down the second staircase at the back of the house, we come to a guest bedroom

Next door was a larger guest bedroom that we used

Above the headboard was an artistic display of Tom Ford sunglasses

The downstairs bathroom had green metallic wallpaper with peacocks

Our room and the kitchen both have doors to the back patio

Joe and John came over for dinner. They are also from DC. Joe is holding a bag of white wine, we swear.

On Sunday, Bill, Jamie & Phillip went for a walk across the breakwater

Selfie time!

Bill looking studly

Gotta get the shot

Pictures or it didn't happen!

It's a long breakwater

Looking back toward Provincetown

Wood End Lighthouse

Long Point Beach

They walked about 2.5 miles

The Provincetown Inn is across the street at 1 Commercial Street

Rooms at the Provincetown Inn

Commercial Street

Shopping plaza near the movie theatre

Stained glass windows are more expensive than I thought. These are around $1,000.

Provincetown draws a diverse crowd

Watch out for the bee!

Pride bunting

This looks like a 'hardy hibiscus' because the flowers are HUGE! About 1 foot across.

Jamie & Phillip rented bikes

These posts were all over Ptown

Phillip & Jamie at the Boatslip

Went to The Canteen for lobster rolls

Phillip and Jamie at the register. Bill is behind the pole.

Home & Garden Store

Another night, Phillip prepared skewers on the grill out back

Yet another night, Rob's bleu cheese burger

Frozen lemonade

Rob posed like Ken (ok, Barbie) in a box promoting the new movie

August 31 was the super blue moon. (Super = close to earth, blue = second full moon this month) This makes the tides especially high and low all week.

Big moon makes this house look scary

Gift shop

A big star decoration in someone's front yard.

Overgrown Pilgrims Landing marker looks creepy

Lighthouse across the water

Our place in the dark

Provincetown Inn sign at night

Provincetown Fudge Factory. Rob stopped here a LOT.

Dinner at Heaven by candle light

Before leaving Ptown, we had to stop at the Lobster Pot for lunch. Bill had a lobster Reuben

Rob had the clam chowder

After a bus ride to Hyannis, our vacation moved to Karen's cottage in Barnstable.

Bill and Karen pose out front

Cottage

Karen says goodbye to Lisa

Sean stopped by to help his mom find something in the attic.

Lobster pot above the fridge

Burgers on the grill for dinner. Who knows how to operate a charcoal grill?

Little bunnies nibbling in the front yard

This was a huge Christmas Tree Store before the chain went bankrupt

Little shop in downtown Barnstable

Wooden ride-on train

Went to the neighborhood beach down the street to meet up with family and friends.

That's cousin Ann, her son Jamie and his daughter Lorelei.

Lorelei is crocheting a spider web top

Tom is married to Ann's daughter Jen.

Karen soaking up the sun

Extra high tide means some wet butts

Just above the high tide line. Hopefully.

Looking across to Sandy Neck

Sailboat

More sailboats

The super blue moon makes the tides especially high and low.

Hyannis Harbor

Packing up to leave the beach

Cleaning off our sandy feet in Karen's outdoor shower

Wash, wash, wash

Sunset on Millway Beach

Sunset 2

Sunset 3

Sunset 4

One more peek-a-boo before setting

Sun setting for real

There was a fireworks show in Hyannis. Traffic was bad and we gave up on seeing it, but then we got a great view from the CVS parking lot!

Boom!

We call this one 'the tire'.

More boom

Pow!

Ooo!

Aah!
