Memorial Weekend

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  The start to a busy Cape Cod summer has officially begun.  This is clearly indicated by the massive amounts of traffic from all the seasonal visitors, which is obnoxious for the first couple weeks but then you just learn to adapt and change your driving patterns/times.  =)

We've had a busy weekend ourselves.  We started off registering for the many things Ellie will need once she's here!  It was way faster and easier than I thought it would be.  Of course, I'm thinking we went overboard, but that's okay.  It was so fun seeing all the other moms there with their bellies and getting advice on different products.  Dave was a trooper, as he always is, and really put in his two cents about what we needed to register for. 
We definitely took advantage of this prime parking spot!


Next up was the Feet, Fins, and Flippers 5K race along the Canal.  It was quite cloudy and foggy out but it was nice to get out and participate in it anyway.  Dave ran the race with his "brother" Dave and Lisa.  My girlfriend Dena was nice enough to walk it with me with our pups.  Stella and Niko did so great!!!

After the 5K we met up with our friends the Pieroways at Marina Bay for some boating!  It turned out to be an incredible day on the water.  It felt so good to get the water breeze and sun on my skin.  We ended up anchoring out with another boat and just hanging out, grilling, laughing (there's always a lot of that) and just enjoying the start of summer.

I'll wrap this up because I have some organizing and packing to do before our trip this week.  Hope everyone had a great weekend as well!
