Adventure

Aaron and I had a fun adventure today. He was feeling restless so we decided to go play minigolf. We toyed with the idea of going right down the street to the adorably stuck-in-the-fifties Par 3, walking there and maybe getting an italian ice or milkshake at good days, but in the end decided upon a grander scheme. Aaron decided he wanted to go play mini golf at a grand mini golf paradise with pirates and waterfalls and all the bells and whistles. He had seen such a place on his taffy delivery yesterday, so into White Thunder (our buick, gift from Danny and Rachel and a blessing indeed!), and off we set to the cape!

So, apparently, had everyone else. It was about 11 am and the roads to the cape were crazy congested. As we had no appointments to meet we didn't mind the pace. It was all about the adventure. Here's the thing about us: we like to take drives together. Many people hate driving places but as long as we're together driving is a breeze. We'd rather drive to a faraway destination than fly because we so thoroughly enjoy one another's company.

We went to a great little candy shop in Orleans a couple of hours later. We checked out all the touristy things like kitschy mugs and superfluous lighthous magnets. It was fun to see all the taffy he'd delivered the day before out on display and ready to buy! We got cranberry honey and chocolate covered cranberries.

We never found the pirate golf. But we drove and drove. We drove all the way to P-town, we drove to the ocean. We drove through dunes and tiny cape side streets. We drove and talked and laughed and ate at a mexican restaurant and a pizza place and we drove and drove and drove.

We never made it to mini golf at al, not even little Par 3 right down the street. Maybe tomorrow. Today was quite enough of an adventure and quite full enough even without minigolf!!

It really felt like my first day of summer, and I am happy.
