Day Trippin'

Buddy, B, and I had a leisurely day trip to Provincetown (a.k.a. P-Town) last weekend. We took a ferry from Boston, hoping to see some whales along the way. We spent the morning in P-Town checking out the shops and art galleries along Commercial Street. Buddy enjoyed smelling the flowers wherever he could. Everyone's garden was in full bloom.

We had lunch at Canteen. It didn't quite live up to the hype. Buddy gave the meal a 7 out of 10. We shared a lobster roll and shrimp banh mi.

For the afternoon, we sunbathed at Race Point Beach, an easy $2 shuttle ride away from town. We contemplated renting bikes, but we wanted to take it easy. If you really want to take it easy, Uber is also an option.

We had an enjoyable dinner at Sal's, which is on a quieter stretch of Commercial Street and right on the water. After dinner, we grabbed froyo at Bliss. We ended up napping on the ferry ride home.

Thanks for a nice day, P-Town!

Cherry Blossoms

Q trekked to High Park to visit the cherry blossoms today. They are not in full bloom yet, but he wanted to see them before it's too late. Nature makes Q smile!

Allan Gardens

Maggie joined me on an impromptu visit to Allan Gardens. It was the first time for both of us.

There were several benches inside the gardens to sit back and relax. This bench was in the Palm House.

The gardens are very peaceful. Here's Maggie looking at a small indoor waterfall.

The status in this photo is of Leda and the Swan.

Maggie really liked the colour of this flower, since it matched her headband.

Maggie is pointing to a pile of turtles (there were literally five on top of each other). A few more were swimming in the pond with some fish.

This was probably the most unique flower Maggie spotted at the gardens.

Maggie spent most of her time in the Cacti House. We have some mini cacti at home, so when she saw how big they could get, she got excited.

If you ever visit Allan Gardens, let us know what you think!
