Roadtrip 2011

This is the last DaddyMom road trip as we know them. By the time we tear another 12 months from the calendar, Grant and Kyle will join the Monkey Troop after Sandie and I marry in October. And, John will be about to leave for college. While not truly a DaddyMom anymore, I'll treasure the title every day God gives me on this earth.

You can take ’em outta Texas, but….

They couldn’t resist the lure of a Lone Star State come on…

Heading south

Having picked up Sandie in Manchester, it’s time to head south through Boston.

That ain’t the Gahden. That fancy-pants hall can’t possibly take the place of the rat trap it replaced. I know, it’s old news for most. But, it’s new to me.

Can’t wait to see the topside of the big dig later this week when we return for the 4th of July. Learned today that Sandie just plain doesn’t like tunnels of any kind.

Cape Cod ahead. But, one more stop on the way.

How could we resist?

We resisted our first time through Manchester. But, we couldn’t go another day without Mexican. Believe it or not, it was pretty good.

We’re going deep for adventure

While I aim for activities that appeal to all, there are some things that are special to just a few, or, in this case, one. The USS Albacore was never intended for war. Instead, it was created to test innovations later used in other subs. Wanna guess who loved this tour?

You’re close….

Yep, John loved it. A real sub he could explore and touch.

The girls were sweet to let John have his fun.

Must be John’s plate
