If Dairy Queen ever starts using Dennis the Menace again for their spokesperson/mascot or whatever I think I have a new candidate. I came to the Cape today and surprised everyone. The kids hadn’t seen me in a few weeks and they were thrilled. I took everyone to Paul’s Pizza for dinner because it isn’t The Cape until we get pizza from Paul’s. At least it isn’t for me. While I was down for the 4th of July this was the first time I had had a chance to actually be down for a while. I had missed out on the previous two weeks. I wasn’t there when Andrew had hurt his head and I had not been there to spend time with everyone. I was missing the kids and took an opportunity to get there earlier than expected.
I arrived just as the kids had gotten ready for the beach. After surprising them I took them over and we enjoyed the water. It was a gorgeous day. We did Paul’s for dinner at the restaurant and then went around the corner to Dairy Queen. Andrew ordered a banana split. He says that he got it because I don’t like bananas. I know that it was really because he wanted lots of ice cream. He split the banana split with Allison and by split I mean he ate the ice cream and very little of the banana.
we were going to try and hit the carousel of light too but it rained.It was nice to finally get back down the Cape.

The night finally arrived. Allison has been waiting to see Hamilton in the theater for such a long time and tonight was the night. When she heard that Hamilton was coming to PPAC she asked if we can get tickets. I said sure and try to get tickets. She was successful. So, we had an early anniversary night out together to see a fantastic show.
Before we headed down to Providence we went over to The Mad Moose Saloon in North Attleboro for dinner. It was a very good meal. We started off with there special Saloon Style Calamari. It was some of the best I’ve ever had.
We had nice seats for the play. Allison was so excited for the play and she had been listening to everything Hamilton related for months. I wanted to go into the play pretty much cold. I had heard of one of the songs about throwing away one’s shot. It wasn’t until I listened to an audible book called Rivals! Frenemies who Changed the World. One chapter was dedicated to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. It was an interesting chapter and Throwing away a shot has to do with dueling. A Duelist could fire directly into the air and that would be throwing away one’s shot. Of course this is not what the song means but it is interesting as to where that came from. We listened to that chapter after the play.
