From Virginny to Massachusetts and finally home

Continuing the effort to archive the complete adventure, here is the section of our trip from the end of our stay in Williamsburg, visiting Massachusetts, and the drive back home. The photos can be seen here.

Sarah left Virginia a couple days earlier than I did to give her extra time with the boy to visit friends and family. She flew up to the Berkshires (actually Albany because the Berkshires don't have an airport) and had the mandatory meal at the Golden Eagle with its amazing view.

I flew into Boston and Sarah drove out to pick me up. She showed Finn off to our friends Liz and Jeff, Jill and Rich, and brother Josh. Josh lives up on the north shore, which gave an excellent chance to introduce Finn to fried clams at the Woodman's.

Once back in Adams, we had a big cookout with the family and enjoyed the much cooler New England summer as compared to the Dixie Heat of Virginia. Finn watched the fun corn shucking and saw all the flowers of Nancy's Garten.

The drive back home was a long overnight affair. We left at 5 in the afternoon and arrived in Cincinnati at 7am. Finn was packed tightly in the back seat with the two kitties and there was very little drama, especially when compared to the rainy, poop-filled drive to MA when dropping the cats off a year ago.

We introduced Finn to the Mighty Ohio and got him a new exersaucer to feed his new love of assisted standing. He seemed to enjoy the new surroundings and his new room. Of course, having lived for a week or more in three places in the last two months, he is rather adaptable to change.

I love the wrist rattle on Finn's ankle!

And we're glad to have you back in OH again after all your U.S. adventures.

Oh, we wish we had known you would be in the area. We could have tried to meet up. Maybe next time. We're glad you made it home safely though.
