Slowly but Surely . . .
I’m feeling better. Still not 100%, maybe 85%,
After getting up about 10 am and fixing coffee, I was pretty much exhausted. So I just did the Internet thing on and off until about 12:45 when we all headed out to meet Tom and Barb Westerfield at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.
As usual we spent longer talking than we did eating, so it was after 3pm before we were back on the road.
Nick wanted to drop off some Gypsy Journals at some of the RV parks in the area. Then, after a quick detour to Lowe’s (snicker, snicker) we headed home.
Later, about 8:30 we all headed out again to cruise the Strip and eat a late supper at the Blueberry Hill Restaurant.
So now I’m exhausted and I’m going to bed.
I’ve reposted more of our visit to Massachusetts in August of 2009.

Thought for the Day:
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"

America’s Hometown…

Today was our day to tour Plymouth, which calls itself ”America’s Hometown”, which I guess is true since it was America’s first town.
After making the 40 mile trip, we first decided to have breakfast at the All American Diner in downtown Plymouth, and it was excellent!
Leaving the diner we drove down and parked along the waterfront.
The first thing we came upon was the Plymouth Rock monument.
It’s amazing to stand over the Rock and imagine almost 400 years ago the Pilgrims landing here.
Next we walked a few blocks away to the where the Mayflower II is docked. Built in England in 1956 from the original plans, it made the voyage to America in 1957 and was given to the Plimouth Plantation group for display here.
And then of course we had to hit the gift shops. Here’s Jan modeling the latest in holiday attire.
Heading home we stopped off at Target for more ‘stuff’ and then made the drive home.
The park we’re staying in is really nice, probably the nicest one we’ve ever stayed in.
And the landscaping and flowers are really something.
Today is our last full day in Massachusetts. Tomorrow we head north to Saint Johnsburg, VT for a few days at Moose River Lodge.
As it stands now we should be in Nova Scotia within the next two weeks. We’ll see.
More tomorrow from Vermont…
