Cape Cod Trip - Day 8
Got up early again. Got gas (0910) before driving up to Katie's in Quincy. The drive wasn't too bad from our hotel (Cape Cod Inn). Drove into the city to visit the Boston Children's Museum - always a big hit with the kids. They really enjoyed spending time with Aria. We were there almost all day and they they were exhausted (yaaahhh!) when we finally left (1600). Next, drove to Katie's so we could have dinner with her family and Carolyn. I made a run to the Houghs Neck Package store at 1745 (we had run out of drinks). The highlight of the evening (for almost everyone) was when Katie and Carolyn produced a box kite kit and asked me to assemble and fly it. Meanwhile, the twins played with Aria and Nicky filled my unsuccessful attempts to run the kite around in a ball field. After several hours of effort, the pretty sunset along the beach near their house finally allowed me to "call the game" on account of "it never worked!!!" Headed back to the Cape VERY late...
