Slackpacking Trip - Day 8

Woke up around 0700 at Dad and Beth's house. After getting ready, Dad took me over to get some breakfast at the nearby coffee shop (closed) but ended up settling for a donut at Market Basket. We then drove down to the Canal Museum and toured it for awhile. Immediately afterwards, we looked around the fish market next door and watched the harbor patrol rescue a sailboat (in distress) in the Canal. Went back to the house and relaxed for a short time. Ate lunch there and then Dad took me on a tour of the local places he frequents during his daily routine. First, we stopped at the Library, where he read the paper (I ended up following his lead, out of pure boredom). Then we drove down to the beach - didn't end up geting out of the car because it was still raining. On the way back to the house, we stopped to check on his RV to see whether the had done any damage to it. Dad also found a yard sale nearby and he hopped out to see if there were any bargains there. Thought we were done by this point, but Dad then drove me around nearby State Park, where he sometimes works as a volunteer during the summer. Eventually, we met up with Beth at the house. We spent the remaining afternoon working on a huge jigsaw puzzle together. Around 1830, we drove over to Wareham to eat dinner the Ninety-Nine restaurant. It was a very nice meal and I enjoyed the conversation and catching up. We looked around the area for a bit (they showed me several interesting landmarks) on the way back to the house. For the rest of the evening, we watched a crime show on TV for most of the evening. Turned in around 2200.
