Weekend Away

[legalmoose]

I'm spending a lovely, if wet, weekend in Massachusetts with the bf. Flew up yesterday after work, he picked me up at Logan, and we immediately drove out to Provincetown, a place I'd not been before (so, yeah, coming to the summer resort in December? Brilliant!). Overall it's been a nice little visit, the town is quite cute, and I can see how it would quickly get overwhelmed on weekends in the summer, even worse than Rehomo Rehoboth Beach, DE does. Most of the shops have been open for some last minute shopping, and the overall atmosphere has been fun.

He's singing in two concerts this evening with the local gay men's chorus. I'm going to the later one, so am catching up on web reading until then. Got in a very wet five mile run this afternoon, which despite the rain went pretty well, if a bit fast (probably because of the rain - pacing was out the window as I simply tried to pay attention to running on the side of the road with some, though not much, traffic). Heart rate was similarly a bit high, but I'm not concerned - I'll treat it as a last race-page workout before the Celtic Solstice 5 miler in two weeks.

We head back to Boston at some point to pick up his pug and settle in for a quiet evening before I fly back Monday morning, heading into work directly from the airport. I'll get to see him again Xmas weekend in Pennsylvania, then again the next weekend when he flies down to DC for new year's eve. Even with the distance he makes me happy, and that's worth a lot.

Lovely post. I went to P'town once decades ago, and can't remember anything except the lighthouse.

One of my best friends owns a B&B in Wellfleet. It's nifty in the summer, though the traffic to/from the very end of the Cape is a nightmare, but it's really cool (no pun intended) in the "off-season", as they call it. A lot of the restaurants - and some of the stores - are seasonal but the ones that stay open year round are often the best. Bonus of Wellfleet is that it's a very short drive to P-Town but isn't as packed and crazy and over-touristy. *sigh* I haven't been able to visit her in years.

Also this guy sounds like a real win for you. yay!
