Vacation

We drove up the coast through every major city along the way....thanks to our GPS. What a disaster! Driving through Boston was a nightmare. Ruined my desire to go to all those bookstores I was promised. All I wanted to do was get out of there. Salem, MA was too commercial. Freeport, ME promised an afternoon of shopping at LL Bean but that quaint old store is now replaced with a town full of outlets. Three or four of them are LL Bean but none carry large sizes so it was a worthless trip all around to go there. My poor feet are just throbbing with each step I take and hubby is limping around with his hips bothering him. We hit Plymouth on the way back through MA. Been there; done that, but did it again. The stupid museums were a waste of time and money. In one they showed a spinning wheel that said...It's rumored that the Pilgrims spent time spinning but they didn't have access to spinning wheels like this one. DUMB! We decided to go to Cape Cod after that and stopped at Hyannis for one night. Boring! Hubby wanted to go to Provincetown but it was too far and all I wanted to do was head home. Too many little towns with too many shops. One last stop in New London, CT to sleep and now today we get to head home. All-in-all it was an expensive, not very interesting, trip. I wish we would have stayed home and spent the money on new garage doors.
