On Thursday morning we left New Stanton reasonably early and headed toward Greg and Kelly's. We stayed on the toll road and left it in Morgantown for the last leg of the trip and then found a great deli in Elverson for lunch and had a great Philly Steak Sandwich. We soon arrived at the kids house and were sure surprised at how much Gwen had grown and at how well she was walking. She will be a year old this coming week. We spent time with the grandkids the remainder of Thursday and all day Friday.
On Saturday we all (including Kelly's mother Pat) loaded up in two vehicles and headed for northeastern Mass. The trip is just short of 400 miles but took most of the day as the traffic getting around NYC and Boston slowed things down. The trip was great and we arrived at Kelly's aunt DeeDee and uncle Richard's in Amesbury, MA. We were treated to a great dinner of lobster salad, fried clam strips and clam chowder. Greg and the boys stayed in Richard's huge RV while the girls stayed with DeeDee. Marilyn and I headed to the next little town of Newburyport, MA and checked into the Essex Inn, a quaint little inn near the downtown and close to the waterfront where the Merrimac River flows into the Atlantic.
On Sunday Richard took all of us boys to Kingston, NH for a great car show. There were 320 entries of everything from muscle cars, to Model A's, to old pick-ups to street rods and everything in between. The big treat for Gary was riding over with Richard in his 1964 Malibu that he just restored after owning for 42 years.
After the car show Marilyn and I ate in a little diner in downtown Newburyport and then did some sightseeing around town before heading back for a great salmon dinner that Greg cooked for everyone. The boys got to spend some time on the beach where we hope to get to soon.
