From Sea to Shining Sea

Early Saturday morning I headed down Route 9 to Boston and the Atlantic Ocean at Carson Beach and Castle Island. Princess Sophie led the way with head out the window and ears flapping in the early morning air. She led the way into the ocean, too, as I waded in behind her to fill a bottle that I will, hopefully, marry with that from the Pacific a month and a continent away.

Just a few short years ago a trip into Boston would have been a BIG deal to me. And now, even as I am still a bit surprised each time the Model A roars to life, it was a simple add-on to a full weekend. It was one of the last steps before take off, though, and the bottle of water is labeled and safely stowed in the back of the wagon.

Tom & Dennis,

Sounds like a wonderful trip and good time is being had by all on the open roads of America with "Woody". However, it seem like a long way to go for a $2.50 cheesburger?

Enjoy the ride!

Best,

Maureen & Bill

P.S. We are running the 5th Sharon Timlin Memorial Race today to Cure ALS in "Hop" Town and should see some other DFMC folks today
