Hanover, MA (USA)

Mollie slept until around 0930 - after she (and everyone else) was awake, we all ate a great breakfast.  We then helped clean up from the Thanksgiving meal.  Throughout the morning, we had some good conversations about family, COVID-19, politics and Christmas planning (Mollie and Ella wanted to cook a big meal for everyone).  In the afternoon, the entire family took a walk near Katie’s house (through some fields near the school).  We then ate lunch together and Katie gave us some snacks to take with us when we left.  Reluctantly, Mollie and I got on the road, departing Hanover, MA (or "Hanover South", as Mollie calls it now) by 1315...  We used the same route (in reverse) that we'd followed on the way south (MA-3, I-93, NH-3A and I-89) - this time, we encountered a lot of traffic in Boston.  The weather was much better, though.  We had a nice time listening to music on the way and I told Mollie more stories about my family and the city of Boston.  Mollie told me she really wanted to see a moose while she was in New Hampshire and I suggested she ask where to find them on the Upper Valley Facebook page (she did).  We arrived home to Hanover, NH (or "Hanover North", per Mollie) by 1600 and unpacked.  Mollie told me she was really glad that we went to see family for Thanksgiving.  Hopefully, we can return at around Christmas time!
