Day 6: Boston

Exhausting!  Walked 18,289 steps, almost 8 miles.  Not like a crazy day at Walt Disney World, but at 46 years old it was plenty.  Started with a walk through downtown to the Science Museum.

Day 4: Portsmouth, RI to Cape Cod, MA

Image
Rough night when Chris and I got the pull out couch.  But the boys were hot cause they closed the bedroom door and the A/C was in the hall.  We survived to tell the tale.  No breakfast, no ice machine, nothing but some beds and walls (thin at that as I heard the neighbor's TV until I turned on the A/C). I ventured out by myself this morning to grab some breakfast from McDonald's (6 miles away). Was back just in time to pack up the car, hurry Henry along (even though I was the last one out), and head on to the Topiary gardens (you know, the ones I excluded yesterday... we actually passed them on the way to the hotel last night...sweet).  After some silly photos, we made it to the cool Rail Excursion in Portsmouth.  We biked on a duo and quad cart on the railroad track, about 90 minutes round trip.  We were all 5 exhausted when done, yet I had a 2 hour drive to the Cape yet.  Lucky me! Two stops along the way to the Cape were the Sandwich Glass Museum (d...

Day 0: Suffern, NY

Rental car a bust. They called 2 hrs to closing to tell me they have no vans. But they had a Ford Explorer, smaller than my Enclave. No thanks. Dogs were delivered to Dave near Orangeburg, NY. Great guy, lots of land, dogs cared for. Good times. I finished packing at 10PM of course after the house was quiet :)  Then I couldn't sleep until 12:30AM because Watson was talking to friends.  Finally asleep to be woken up by fire alarm.  It wasn't chirping because of a dead battery.  It was actually going off.  That was until I broke the pin in the back and disabled it.  We smelled nor saw anything.  Maybe we'll be fine by morning. We were fine.  Hopefully the house will be fine after we leave.

Day 5: Plimoth & Boston

Image
First, Plimoth is spelled correctly, as the Old English wrote.  The area was Plimoth Pitouxet for the Natives.  After we ate a not-so-filling breakfast (kaiser rolls with cream cheese, milk and cereal scraps, and some juices we got at yesterday's hotel, I stepped outside and walked around the pond with ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens around.  Part of the hotel atmosphere with shady picnic tables to boot. Our first stop was Plymouth, MA.  We had 3 points of interest to explore: the Plimoth Patuxet museums with live theater throughout an historic Patuxet homesite and a 17th century English village, The Mayflower II (WWII gift from England), and a Grist Mill.  Here are some interesting facts I learned for the first time today Companion crops were sowed in mounds of soil.  At the tip of the mound 4 corn kernels were placed, when they got to be a hand tall, 4 bean seeds were placed in the middle of the mound, and after a week when the beans trellised up the corn...
