Provincetown Family Week 2001

Here are the the from the whale watch video Alexandra took of a beautiful dive by a mother whale:

 


For the fourth Summer in a row, Alexandra and I spent a week in Provincetown, Massachusetts, a lovely town on the northern tip of Cape Cod.  The event is hosted by Family Pride Coalition, www.colage.org and Capital One.  There was reportedly over 2,000 FAMILIES!  Here are some pertinent links followed by lots of pictures:

Garrison and his son Gavin joined Alexandra and me.  Gavin has a "Mike Piazza" haircut.  He asked his father to dye his hair blond for him.

To the left are a bunch of gay dads.  We saw hundreds of dolphins and at least a dozen whales.  Alexandra videotaped most of the whale scenes, which I might turn into mpeg files for download.

Here a whale comes right toward the boat.  I was so amazed that the whales and dolphins love to show off, but the most amazing scenes were when the baby whale came all the way out of the water and splashed down to help it's mother find him.  In the third picture you can see them breathing together.

I look really short here in this picture with Jon, Kevin, me and Garrison on the last night, but I'm actually not that short.  Kevin and Jon were on the grass, a few inches higher than the ground I was on.  I'm also wearing flat shoes!  Oh well.  Lily and Alex and Lydia are in the middle.  A typical scene of the town at night!
