Granny and Dr. Pop Pop's House!!

Days on the road: 2
Miles Driven: 197 (582.2)
States visited: NY, MA

Pretty easy day today. A quick getaway from our digs in NY and back up the I-87 to Albany and then down the Mass Pike to Bedford. Not as quick as I would have liked, but we couldn't find our spare set of keys for the RV. I am hopeful they will turn up in the next day or two.

Our bed for the night is at the Family Camp at Hanscom Air Force Base. All the Air Force Bases in the USA have FamCamps for RVs. They are in some great locations and we will be trying to take advantage of them later in the trip as well. They are first come first serve, but this one had plenty of space so we pulled in with no trouble. Well, actually there was a little bit of trouble. The pad was in a tight spot and I got to practice my backing up technique a few times before I got it right. Didn't hit anything though, so no harm done.

With the rig parked we de-coupled the dinghy and headed down the road to Waban to visit my parents. The kids were sooo excited to see the Grandparents and we had a nice lunch and dinner with them. It was also a great chance to get some laundry done and re-stock on groceries.

Next stop, the L.L. Bean store in Freeport, ME and then on to Acadia National park tomorrow night!

From Cate:
Joke of the day: Where do ghosts go swimming? In the dead sea!

From Janelle: Very relieved to drop of the van with John's parents. Now we can finally all ride together! BTW, how does Meg sleep through me blasting Van Halen at full volume?? Looking forward to lobster dinner and exploring the tide pools in Maine!!
