There once was a man from Nantucket…

After an awesome passage and a fun rest stop in Provincetown we headed down to Nantucket.

Yay Provincetown!

Nantucket is an interesting place.  The way we’d sum it up is that it’s where rich people come to show off.  It has lot’s of bling and fancy shops and restaurants.  Try getting a meal here for under $20 a plate!  Even with all that I found the island itself charming with cobblestone streets in town and all the grey shingle houses.  To get a feel for Nantucket we took a tour that drove us around the whole length of the island.

The tour also stopped at one of the lighthouses on the island.  The island has been eroding and this lighthouse had to be moved back from the cliff to save it!  Seems like a lot of effort to me…

We were here a few days so we took advantage of the night life and went out to listen to some live music.  Brett and Ryan were having two very different experiences….

One of the most fun nights we had was when we were hanging out and ended up getting absorbed by a bachelorette party!  They were a bunch of girls down from New York and we had a great time dancing with them (yes Ryan and Brett danced)!  It made for a fun and random night!  We all took a taxi to another club and the girls fit in the back of the taxi!

Hello ladies...

Too soon it was time to leave….  Bye Nantucket!
