Curtains! Unfortunately Nana's old Singer bit the dust, but now that I know I will actually use a sewing machine, I decided to replace the singer with a new one. I got a pink brother 25 stitch machine (her name is Belle) and you better expect great things when the Boston cold sets in hehe These curtains were a piece of cake, an easy straight stitch around. Next I am going to try some actual clothes, cross your fingers!

160 Mile Bike Ride to Cape Cod? Piece of Cake (no not really)
No joke, Kavan and I really did bike 160 miles from Cambridge all the way to Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod. With this pilgrimage, Kavan and I can finally call ourselves New Englanders... if we wanted to :P
Kavan has been wanting to bike down to P-town all Summer, and a couple of weeks ago we decided to make the trip. When Kavan brought this trip idea up at the beginning of the summer I was sure there was NO WAY I was biking all the way to Provincetown. The longest bike ride I had been on at that point was 50 miles over two days. For this trip, I would have to bike over 60 miles the first day, then another 50 the next, and finally top it off with a "measly" 30 mile ride into P-town. The first words that came to my mind when I thought about this were: pain, sweat, and tears. While the trip did include a little pain and a lot of sweat, I am happy to report tears were not shed during the making of this bike ride.
The whole trip was awesome, and making it to P-town was the best feeling ever!! Some highlights from the trip include:
Light house viewing
Whale watching.... We saw so many whales!!
Sunset
National Seashore Park... The sand dunes were HUGE
Basically, P-town is the bomb... What a great way to finish out the summer :)
