PROVIDENCETOWN, MASSACHUSSETS

Bob has been telling me that he wanted to take me to Providencetown for years so for my Birthday he decided that we should take a day-trip up there.  We had such a good time. 
First stop was the Pilgrim Monument.  This was the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Monument.
We actually climbed aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way to the top.  Acording to their web site ( http://www.pilgrim-monument.org/ )  "The heart-healthy walk to the top on 116 steps and 60 ramps only takes about 10 minutes at a leisurely pace."   Are they kidding me????????  OMG I thought I was going to pass out!!!!!!!!!
Well, at least from the top of the tower I got some really great pictures -  Here are some, plus a picture of the staircase looking down from the top.......  - Uh...  Did I mention I'm scared of heights!!!!

After the Pilgrim Monument we went into the town where there is a strip of all sorts of stores.  It was fun to browse at everything in the stores but actually it was a lot of fun to browse at what was going on outside the stores......  Providencetown is a very popular place for homosexual couples.  There were several shows with men either wearing barely anything or dressed fully in drag.  I tried to get Bob to go see one of the shows but he wasn't going for it.... 
Well, at least I got a couple of pictures..........  LOL

Providencetown is definitely an interesting place.......

BIRTHDAY LUNCH & DINNER............ YUMMMMMMY!!!!!

One of the best things about birthdays is that people want to take you out to eat......   As far as I'm concerned, any food eaten while celebrating your birthday has absolutely no fat, no carbs and no calories.

Today Marge took Bobby and I out to an Italian restaurant right by my job.  Have wanted to try this place for years but never got around to it.  I am so glad we went there.  The food was delicious and the service was good.  Even talked to the owner about delivering lunches to our office - Cause lunch is certainly a high priority at our office.......
Thank you Marge.............

I was so full after lunch but ofcourse nothing was going to stop me from going out for Hibatchi with my friend - uh...  I mean my Sister Lori.  Lori and I have known each other since the third grade and no matter what life throws at us to try to keep us apart, Lori and I will always be friends.

Mmmmmm -  Hibachi  -  Yummmmmm

Thank you Lori......... 

BIRTHDAY IN NEW YORK CITY

For my Birthday, my BFF Laura really surprised me....  She took me for a fun weekend in New York City.  We really dont live that far from the City but I hardly ever get to spend any time there and have never actually stayed over for the night.  This was truly a memorable weekend........
