Spent a delightful afternoon at my nephew’s house.  My sister, her three kids and some of her grandchildren were there.  There were lots of other family and friends there too.  My brother Gene came down for part of the afternoon.

It was a beautiful day to sit outside and visit.  The food was great and fun was had by all.

We got to sleep in this morning and didn’t leave the hotel until check-out time at 11:00.  We drove to my nephew’s house.  There are lots of little twisty  turns in the roads here.  Hard to find where you are to turn sometimes as we couldn’t tell if it was a road or a driveway.  Too many trees to see the landscape.

We are checked into our hotel in Groton.  I think tomorrow we are going to slow it down and go to Kathy’s house and the beach and have a quiet day with little driving.  Monday we will go to Mystic Seaport and a few other scenic places.  Hoping there won’t be too many people out and about on Monday.

Tuesday we drive to DC.  My family told me that the drive to DC is a hard one as the traffic is really heavy.  Not looking forward to that.

I’m ready to go home.  We still have a week and half to go though.  Maybe after a quiet day tomorrow I can face the rest of the trip.

Grateful to see more family today, grateful for beautiful weather today, and grateful for a quiet night in the hotel.
