Cape Cod: Hyannis Port and the return flight

We were lucky to have an early afternoon flight to return home so we had time to explore Hyannis Port on the way to the airport. We explored the little town, saw the Kennedy Compound and the surrounding homes. We didn't feel right about photographing private homes, but it was all stunning. 



This crew had a great time, but they were ready to head home. 



George said Snoopy was a little nervous about the flight, but he did fine. 



The trio's favorite part of the trip was getting to fly and attach an experience to all of Skip's stories about traveling for work. He taught them how to grab a big pretzel on the go, in lieu of lunch or dinner, and he showed them how he finds a place to work during layovers. They liked all of the restaurants and shops. 

When we connected and got on our second and last flight, Grace sat with me, and Skip sat with Lauren and George. Suddenly, Ms. J, the girls' middle school principal, is walking down the aisle. Lauren was dutifully reading her 4th or 5th book, but Grace had decided to take a break from reading (she had read 3-4 books) and watch a movie on the flight home. We invited her to sit with us, and as she was putting her bag away, I leaned over to Grace and said, "You better get your summer reading out! Read something! Read ANYthing!" haha! We had a good laugh about it, but she had more than earned a good movie on the flight.  

We had a great trip, but we were quite happy to be back home.
