To celebrate Carries 33 birthday, I surprised her by borrowing my brothers car (thank you Brian...sorry about the ticket) and wisking her away to Provincetown, Cape Cod. When we arrived, it was pouring and we promptly got soaked while running to find a place to eat lunch. By the end of our meal, the rain had let up and I surprised her yet again with a birthday whale watch! Carrie's never been on a boat on the ocean. It was a perfect whale watch trip...since it had been raining there were very few people on the ship, we could run around at will. We rode out to Stellwagon Bank, a hot feeding ground, and immediately began spotting whales. In total, we saw about 20 humpback whales and over 100 dolphins! Carrie had a giant smile on the entire time (even when convinced the whales were going to flip out boat over).

After our supreme whale watch we checked in to our hotel, got dressed and had a lovely Italian dinner on the beach at sunset. The next morning, we rented bicycles and went on what turned out to be a pretty arduous 5 mile bike ride along the coast and through the national seashore park. It was a spectacular birthday trip!
