Trip to Montauk

So today marks the end of my summer. It is the first day of orientation. I wanted to take the first part of this week to recap some of the things that Chris, Lucy, and I have taken part in over the summer. Today will be all about the weekend trip Chris and I took to Montauk for his cousin's wedding. 

Montauk is at the eastern most end of New York's Long Island. The traffic getting out there was awful, but otherwise we had a really good time. The weather for the wedding couldn't have been better and we had some time to explore. We saw the Montauk Lighthouse:

And we climbed to the top where we could see the light:

The spiral staircase to reach the top was a bit intense, but the view from the top was a sight. We could even see into Connecticut/Rhode Island and Block Island:

 We also enjoyed some of the local establishments. Chris picked out a restaurant called the Sloppy Tuna simply because it had a mixed drink called the "Clum Bucket" - yea, like the fish slop they feed to attract sharks:

We also found sometime to enjoy the beach (yay, squinty picture):

Overall, we had a great time. It was nice, but Chris and I both agreed if not for his cousin's wedding, the drive out there wasn't worth it.
