Ok, so on to Saturday........
On Saturday morning, we got our early wake-up call from the hotel Front Desk so we could get showered, dressed and out the door for our 2 hour drive down to New London, Connecticut to pick Jason up from my parents when they got off the ferry. We got down to about 20 minutes before the exit for New London when my mom called to tell us the Sea Jet was broken down and they'd have to take the larger ferry and not get in til 11:40. At this time, it was about 9am, so with about 2 1/2 hours to kill, we decided to get off at one of the last exits before New London for some breakfast. We had a really good breakfast at Friendly's in Stonington (I think that's the name of the town) and then off to New London to get Jason. The ferry was right on time, we got him right away and my parents ran to get the bus to Foxwoods.
After we left the ferry terminal, it was off to Cape Cod!!!
We got to Otis ANG base around 1:45pm, so we were there right before the check-in/out office closed. They got us our key and we got into our room and unpacked very quickly! We lounged around in the room for a few minutes and then called Jen to say that we were heading over to her house.
At Jen's, Jason got to play with Zachary while Jay looked at Jen's computer to see if he could get any wireless access with it. Unfortunately, there was only a very low spotty signal, so it'll have to wait til we get back up there in September. From Jen's, we headed over to Cooke's for dinner.
After we had our dinner, we went over to the Christmas Tree Shop in Hyannis by the Cape Cod Mall. We did quite a bit of shopping over there (including buying Jay and Jason a few birthday gifts) and we ran into Steve, Lorena and one of their daughters. After the Christmas Tree Shop, it was off to KMart to see if they had a CD Jen wanted. I was able to get a few more birthday gifts for Jay over at KMart (Boston Red Sox pajama pants, boxers and a jacket).
Once we left KMart, we headed back to Jen's to drop her off and then take a little drive thru Hyannis and Hyannisport. By the time we got back to Otis, Jason was sound asleep. We carried him into the room and put him to bed. Once he was tucked in, Jay and I relaxed with a beer and a movie (Titanic). By the end of the night, we were so tired from our busy day.
Up next post, Jay's birthday/Sunday......
