After waking up early, I teleworked again (from Katie’s house). Mollie got food for me again and entertained herself during several hours of my meetings. I took a break from work and talked to Mollie about our plans for the coming days (she was excited about visiting Dad and Beth). Katie and Mollie went exploring and to pick up lunch from Johnny’s restaurant. Meanwhile, I went back to work. When they got back, I took a break and ate lunch with everybody. At 1245, we packed up the car and left for Cape Cod (I listened to a work telcon on the way). We arrived at my dad’s house by 1400 and immediately departed for a swimming hole that my dad liked. While there, we played with the dog and swam a bunch - Mollie told me she was very happy to be in such warm water. After we were done, we all went back to Dad’s for more visiting, cleaning up and resting. At 1645, Mollie and I left for Barnstable Village while Dad and Beth went to dinner in Plymouth. While waiting to meet my cousin and his wife (David and Pamela), we walked around in town. Mollie was interested, so we stopped into Barnstable Pottery and I met protégés of Harry Hall, the original owner of Scargo Pottery - I had a great time talking with the other guys about the impact Harry had on our lives. At 1730, we met David and Pamela at the Dolphin Restaurant and ate a delicious dinner. We spent time talking about family, work, school and life. Finished at 2030, I showed them some of the family pictures Gerard had given me the night before. After that, Mollie and I drove back to Sandwich and met up with Dad and Beth, who took us to Shawme-Crowell State Park, where my dad had set up his camper for us to use. After they left, Mollie and I relaxed and read in bed - we went to sleep at 2200. What a nice way to spend a summer day!
