Quick Cape Cod Run

We took a quick run to Cape Cod today. We won’t be heading down to the Cape for Thanksgiving because of Boot Camp for Krav. I have to be back on that Friday so it made no sense for us to run down to run back when we couldn’t really enjoy the day after Thanksgiving. I know this puts a damper on some of our traditions like the kids helping Mem and Grandfather trim their Christmas tree. But, we’re going to have them come to our house for Thanksgiving instead. We’ll spend more time down there for Christmas instead.

Before we headed down we had a nice lunch at Bliss Dairy. Andy had us play Mad Libs while we waited and it was quite funny to say the least. I tried something new there, the Ultimate Grilled Cheese burger. It was a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Not something I’d normally get but it was really, really good.

One of the reasons we went down was to see my Grandfather. We did not get to see him today but will see him tomorrow.

Another reason we went down was to visit and to help my Dad set up his new computer. His old one was acting up and not working properly so I took a look at it and also set up the new one. I was able to get the old one to work but it is running very slowly. I don’t know if I can reclaim it at all but I will try. The problem with that one is that the keyboard is not working properly at all and I have no idea to fix that. It was time for a new one.

We had a nice pizza dinner with pizza from Supreme (GF) and Paul’s. I do love Paul’s pizza. We then watched Wish Dragon on Netflix and while it had the feel of Aladdin it was it’s own movie and was really good. Andy especially liked it.

My Walking Buddy

Andy and I went for a nice long walk today. He’s all about his Fitbit and counting how many steps he takes each day. He likes to let everyone know that he has taken the most steps. That is because he is in constant motion. Whether it is is feet or his mouth, one or both are always moving.

During our walk he had both going at a constant clip. We walked from our house through the whole Riverwalk over to a small waterfall, as you can see above. This was a place that I explored as a kid when my dad owned a house in that area. We’d go over and clean up the apartments and mow the lawn and make repairs. When I got breaks I’d go and explore. I remember that waterfall being so much bigger as a kid.

Taking walks with Andrew has been something I have tried to do the past few weeks because he’s got this pent up energy that he needs to release so he can focus on his work and also spend less time on the devices. He has a computer now (hand me down) but luckily, he’s only using it to play chess. The computer never tires of him wanting to play another game. I like that he has been playing chess on the computer. It will help him see more opportunities and mistakes before they happen when we play our next game.
