Cape Cod Trip - Day 1
In the morning, I teleworked for a few hours before driving to White River Junction for two hours of volunteering at UVAC (using the woodchipper). Afterwards, I returned to my condo to telework for another four hours. I later packed up my car and left (1345) Hanover North, bound for Hanover South. I talked to Eileen on the way (I-89 to NH-3A). Also listened to audiobooks. I had problems with my recently "repaired" car as I lost my cruise control and all associated features. Stopped for gas at Irving in Hooksett at 1510. After that, got on I-93 and drove south. Encountered more cruise control problems with car (grrr...) as I reached Boston (1600) and then had to sit in a traffic jam for almost 90 minutes (while only 30 miles from Katie's) on the way to Hanover. By the end of the drive, I found myself on MA-3A for a few miles. After reaching my sister's house, I got to visit with Dan, Ella and John before they all left for previous engagements. Meanwhile, Katie and I drove over to eat dinner at the Ocho Cafe in Weymouth. Since my sister was driving, I had no idea where we were when we arrived! We had a delicious dinner and then Katie drove me through Hingham and, eventually, out to Hull. We stopped for a bit at Fort Revere Park (amazing views) and then headed back towards Katie's. When we arrived, I got to visit with Johnnie and John again. Went to bed at around 2300.
