So…we decided not to go to the ballgame. Basically, we ran out of time. But after all it’s just the Red Sox so it’s not like it’s a big deal. And that way I can update the blog tonight. I know you’re anxiously waiting. Then it was off to “do Boston.” Here’s the warning. The […]
First things first – Kim fixed my iPad! Actually she remembered how to hard-boot it and that did the trick. We’re back in business. So…if you’ve read the sans image version of Day 19, and don’t have a particular need to be assulted by images of great art, you’re good. If, however, you have a
Today was our “Providence Day.” Since we only had one full day in town we decided to split up and follow our individual interests. Cheryl and Kim took J and S and headed for the zoo. Providence has a wonderful zoo with interesting animals and (most important on a hot sunny day) a chance to
We were up, breakfasted, packed, and (amazingly) out the door by 10:00 checkout time. The first stop was a small amusement park buried deep in the cranberry country of eastern Massachusetts. Edaville doesn’t seem like much at first but the deeper into the park you go the more there is to see and do. We
A guy could get used to this process of starting the day off slowly. It’s certainly a more relaxed way to travel. Eventually it was time to leave for the ferry to Nantucket. We opted for the high-speed ferry that made the run in just over an hour rather than the traditional ferry (taking 2:15).
Kind of a rough night for some of us so we were a bit slow getting going this morning. However, this did allow us some time to sit and contemplate water The scheduled activity for the day was a drive up to Provincetown at the very tip of the Cape Cod. The drive took the
Not to put too fine a point on it…but today is my birthday. Therefore practically everything was motivated by and served the purpose of celebrating my attainment of an ever advancing age. The morning started, appropriately enough, with the grandsons delivering breakfast in bed. It was a bit on the messy side so we ended
So…the roofers arrived at 7:00. Why? Because it wasn’t raining. But still. The upside was twofold. First we loaded up and left ahead of schedule. Second, the host has offered to refund some of our fee. So (after convincing the roofers to take a break so we could load the car without having old shingles
This morning we breakfasted and loaded the car for our day’s adventure. Brooke arrived (having spent the night with a friend in the area) and we took off for a drive down the coast to Portland (about 20 minutes). I’m told the views along this stretch of the drive were amazing. Personally I couldn’t see
We were up, breakfasted, packed, and out of the camp by 9:04 (four minutes late – but that’s still pretty good). Our first destination was the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse – a short 3:15 jaunt down the coast. The map above doesn’t show the actual route we took. The listed path down US 1 is actually
