We drove about 400 miles today - Greensboro to Harrisburg, PA. We had hoped to go to Washington, D.C. for 2 nights, but couldn't find a hotel in our price range which was disappointing. We had contacted Meaghan Lynch, but had to cancel seeing her.
It was a nice sunny day and the route up from Greensboro to Roanoke (Route 220, future I-73) was new to us. It was pretty. Then, we joined the truck route, 81, which is always a bit tedious, but the scenery throughout Virginia is beautiful.
We are at a Best Western outside Harrisburg and we went out to a very modest Indian restaurant. But, first we sat in a mostly unheated hot tub!
November 7-9
We had a nice family stay in Bridgewater with the folks, Sandy and Rob. Ted and Bev came over to visit one afternoon.
November 10
We drove to Concord to see the Hutchesons in the morning. Otis spent the day in Boston with his girlfriend and had a great time. But, as the day went on, everyone in the family began feeling worse and worse. There is a flu going around the campus. We did have a lovely Cuban pork tacos made in the pressure cooker, but everyone went to bed early. Oh dear.
November 11
Reluctantly, we cancelled our lunch date in Marblehead with Richard Ramos because we did not want to carry any illness to him. He had 6 pounds of quahogs for chowder....bummer. So, we drove to the Cape and checked into the Best Western. We shopped at Macy's and bought a leather sofa bed for the cottage along with a new chair for that living room. We ate at Bangkok Kitchen and are hoping we don't get sick.
November 12
We were able to move our car reservation from 2:45 to 9:15 which made the day immeasurably better as we unpacked in daylight. It is nice to have Nick here to help. We came home to a fair amount of wind damage from a storm from a few weeks ago - one of the old beach plums cracked and the upper deck's railing is quite broken. And, then....the truck's battery was dead and then, when Nick went to drive it, more things seem to be wrong - lots of warning lights etc. Tomorrow - AAA will be called!
Regardless - it's nice to be home
