This morning I got up and voted in the Presidential election. I got plenty of blue gear including my strength and kindness shirt. Was feeling really good about it, too.
In the early afternoon I took the kids over to The Big Apple to meet up with my mom and dad and cousins Kylie and Dylan. We bought some pickles, donuts and apples before we headed over to Wrentham Outlets for lunch. We had lunch over at Tavern in the Square.
We had a really nice meal and celebrated Andy’s upcoming birthday. It was good to see the family.
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.
