Today we left the Boston area. After eight days there, we had barely scratched the surface, so we agreed we’ll go back again another time to see more. We set up camp in our new campground, a city campground that has a rural feel, with large spaces and trees. Our campsite is open, so Ken put out the Qube for DirecTV. Then we headed over to Newport to see Terri and Blake and Molly. It was a bit tricky getting our ginormous truck in their driveway, but we did it.
It was a treat to see everyone again and catch up on hugs. Terri was especially excited to see Sweetie again. Then we opened all our mail and packages we had sent to their address (thanks, T.). One thing we got was a Motor Carrier’s Atlas to replace the one we got in August of 2007, which was falling to pieces. Another was a new broadband router so Ken and I can share the Verizon broadband connection. Ken was pleased to get a package from his granddaughter, Cathy, which included a self-portrait she had drawn in art class. She is a black belt in Red Dragon Karate and will test to advance to level two in November.

We took a tour of the house, which has many interesting architectural features. It was built in 1865 and is in a historic district, so the homes are preserved. Terri and Blake say that means no window upgrades (unless the window is broken…..).

Molly is very interested in photography and wants a new SLR camera. She and Ken discussed the features of his Canon SX110, which has more features than most people would ever use. Ken is very happy with it.
Terri had made Mt. Ranier White Chili for us, so we had a delicious dinner.
