Drizzle drizzle

Well, it's a typical New England early summer day.. a bit drizzly and chilly.. but the weekend is supposed to be beautiful...sunny.. maybe not as warm as we would like, but nice none the less. The first race for the Cape Cod Bay Challenge is Saturday at Whitecrest Beach in Wellfleet. It sounds crazy but I'm going just to watch... they have an 800 yd paddle then a 200 yd run all done 8 times!!!!! Insane, especially if the surf is kicking up....It should be entertaining... Did you know the HGTV Green House was here in Plymouth? Well it is and you can tour it for a while until it's given away.. It's in the Pinehills section of Plymouth, go see it! There will be an art exhibit this weekend "Splash of Color" at the Plymouth Library over 50 pieces, watercolors, oils and acrylics from the Council on Aging. The Plimoth Plantation is abuzz with all kinds of activities this weekend, look at their website, www.plimoth.org.

It's going to be a beautiful weekend..get out there and enjoy it!

Summer is here!

Well finally, the season we have all been waiting for Summer. Attractions, shops, restaurants and the beaches are getting crowded, especially on the weekend. This past weekend, Memorial Day, was beautiful for visiting Plymouth, not too hot and definitely not too cold. Went to the beach Sunday night for a paddle with my hubby and the water was a little chilly, but the air was beautiful and the sunset gorgeous. The whale watching has been great from what I hear, and the ghosts are doing their thing nightly. A couple new restaurants opened up; Patrizia's and 14 Union (under new ownership) and Water Street Bar & Grill is scheduled to open shortly. I haven't been to Patrizia's but I heard it is fabulous (from my daughter the foodie), I have had the pleasure of having a function where 14 Union catered the appetisers, and if the apps are any indication of what the entrees are, I can't wait to go! All kinds of activities are going on for the month of June. Believe it or not the tickets for Thanksgiving at the Plimoth Plantation go on sale today! Can you plan that far ahead!?
