Today we headed to Provincetown, to play at the beach and explore. It was maybe one of the best beach days we have had on this whole trip. We also enjoyed some unexpected whale watching.
We want to make the most out of our short time in Cape Cod, so today after work we headed to Plymouth, to visit Plymouth Rock and walk around the town.
Today it was back to work for me, and Susan and the kids got to spend the day enjoying the farm. The highlight was a goat hike, which is a hike, with goats.
Yesterday after work we left Adrienne’s farm in Boston and headed to Cape Cod, for just a couple days.
Today I took the day off work and we explored Boston.
Today after work we made the 90-minute drive from our stopover in Sturbridge to Wright Locke Farm, just outside of Boston. Susan’s friend, Adrienne, is the farmer there. We are boondocking for a couple of days (and also using the facilities in her house).
The farm is beautiful, with a few fields, chickens, goats, and many hiking trails. My favorite thing that we got to see is the ice house, where they would store ice for use throughout the year. I remember reading about it in Farmer Boy and it was cool to see an actual ice house.
Last night after our walk we were driving around, exploring Sturbridge, when we found a Friendly’s restaurant in Sturbridge. I worked at Friendly’s for 3 and 1/2 years in high school and college, with my sister, Holly, and some other friends. We went back tonight for some ice cream.
This morning we removed our second tic of the trip. Lucia was brushing her hair and Susan noticed it on the back of her head.
We were scheduled to drive all the way to Boston today, and head into the city tomorrow, but the weather is looking bad so we decided to stop on the way for a couple of days to let it warm up. We found a nice campground in Sturbridge, MA, just across the border from Connecticut. Andrew and I got out for a run in the afternoon and we found a nice spot for our after-dinner walk.
After spending Friday on our own in New York, we spent Saturday with the Foley-Murphys. Susan and Andrea have been friends since second grade and John (Murph) was one of Susan’s first friends in college. They have lived in Brooklyn since graduating from college.
