After scoping out the advertisements for the aquarium yesterday, we decided to check it out. It's also in Wood's Hole where we ate yesterday evening. We ate a quick lunch at D'Angelo's, which is a sub shop, and headed to Wood's Hole. As you anticipated from the title, we didn't get to see the aquarium. Turns out, it's now open Tuesday through Saturday as opposed to the Monday-Friday in all the advertisements. So instead, we stopped at the lighthouse on the way back. Click the picture to see where it is exactly. The lighthouse was much cooler than I thought. You could see quite a bit from its perch. It's a little hard to see it from the aerial photo, but it's right in the middle. You basically just see a dot with a skinny shadow.
I really like MapQuest as a supplementary resource to my vacation. Partnered with a GPS, it is excellent. Now they just need to make a camera that will embed GPS coordinates in the picture files. Also, if anyone has more ideas on more ways I can utilize MapQuest or another online resource as a supplement to this, leave a comment.
The sun peeked out a little before lunch, but it's obscured again. It's much warmer now though, and Becky just went to hang out with her Dad on the beach. My throat is hurting a little, so I'm going to wait until it warms up a little more before I go subject myself to the weather in that way.
So, look for a future entry on our trip to the aquarium, which will happen sometime later this week.
