Once in Cornwall we saw our Grandmother and Linnea. They were going to be leaving on a super-special surprise birthday trip for Grandma the next day so we wanted to see them before they went. We caught up a little bit (both had read the journal and seen the pics up so far so that made it easier). Then they took us to lunch at Woody’s which is a place that had delicious food that they get from local sources. We ordered sandwiches and shakes, Aunt Laura’s treat (thanks again!). The food was awesome, even with a misunderstanding. We all ordered and then went to sit near the window to wait for it. They said that when it was ready they’d let us know. I guess for some reason they thought that we were doing pick-up and let our food sit to the side. Eventually we went up to see what was happening because it looked like everyone around us had gotten their food including people that had came afterwards. They informed us that it had been there for awhile, so it was a bit cold when we ate it, but still delicious. And luckily the milkshakes were still cold, so they were great as well. Between the two things everyone was full and happy.
When we got back to the house Caleb Dan and I laid down for a nap. Caleb was out in the yard and Dan and I set up our bed (mats and sleeping bag) on the back screen porch. It was a great temperature and a beautiful day which made for very nice napping. Dan and I woke up when Linnea and Laura got home a little after 5 and then Caleb came in a little bit later.
That evening we had a delicious grilled dinner on the back porch with the Mowats and then hung out and watched the Sox vs. Yankees game. Unfortunately this one went pretty badly for the sox so it wasn’t a lot of fun watching it with Yankees fans. Yes, Linnea, we’re talking about you!
After the game we went to bed. In the morning we had breakfast and said our goodbyes. We ended up getting out at a good time, though not quite as early as we had though. The drive to Andover was a pretty good one. The only part that wasn’t was getting onto and the beginning of the Masspike. I was driving… so wasn’t really appreciating the traffic. It’s annoying that a car on the side of the road doing nothing in particular can back up traffic for miles. That and getting into the tolls which I think was also due to bad driving. People finally realize that they have to be on the other side of the highway just before they get there. Anyway, that’s all for my rant on bad drivers…
We got back to MA safe and sound and the car held up just fine. We ended up returning it on Monday morning just to make sure we were there and didn’t get charged extra for anything that we shouldn’t have.
So there you have it. Thank you for following along with us. I think that soon we will start an Australia blog. We’ll post the address on facebook/here when that happens. And I can’t promise that we’ll update as often but you can check and see what we’re up to. See you there!
