Princeton and DC

Thursday brother Chris who came in from Schenectady drove us out to Boxford to help load the truck and see us off. We got to Peter and Kathleen’s around 11 at night. Kathleen made us tea and Alan had peppermint tea mmm and we talked for a while before bed. The next morning we had breakfast with Becket who quizzed Alan on his state capitols and showed us some of his iTouch apps. Kathleen was a great hostess as always, and it was great to see her and Becket, as well as Nico and Scout, the now wise old bearded Jack Russells still adorable as ever. We got to Grandma Debbie’s around noon and we had a great lunch with Grandma, Chris, Jamie, Pam, Ran and Stephen Hock, thanks to my godmother Pam for the luxurious lunch. Alan noticed that Grandma Debbie’s toilet bowl had been replaced because the drain was no longer shaped like a 6, which made Alyssa sad. It was great to be back in Grandma Debbie’s apartment and it was a lovely visit. 2:30 and we were back on the road headed for Floyd, Virginia, where Alan’s uncle Greg had arranged for us to stay with his friends Frank and Sally for the night. On our way, Greg had us driving through Manassas so we could see some civil war battlefields.
