Picking Up Amanda

The next phase of our trip to Prince Edward Island included picking up Amanda at the Boston Airport Monday. Zeke gets car sick but he made it all the way from Austin to New Hampshire plus all our side trips here without any medication so we didn't even think about it when we left to pick Amanda up. About an hour into our trip he was sick so we stopped at a rest stop so he could walk around for a few minutes - which didn't seem to help. We continued on until we found a store and bought him Sea-Bands and Dramamine. As much as he did not want to take the Dramamine he did and felt much better. We lost 1/2 hour the exact amount of time we were late to pick up Amanda.

From there we drove to the USS Constitution Museum. I had printed out a yahoo map to get us from the airport to the museum which started out fine and then the instruction got us off on the wrong road. My iPhone came to the rescue as I had downloaded the map of the area before we left so when I turned it on it showed us immediately where we were and I could read the street names and saw the one we were supposed to be on and we quickly made the change in direction arriving at the museum without any difficulty.

The USS Constitution ship is closed on Mondays but we enjoyed the museum and all the history about Old Ironsides. Amazing the things you can learn. From the museum we walked up to Bunker Hill and then toured the Bunker Hill Museum. We left Boston at 4:30 sure we would be stuck in terrible traffic and considered finding a place for dinner. Two thing worked to our advantage - the traffic was actually moving better than stop and go and there are no roadside signs for restaurants. Kristi knew of places in Manchester so we continued on. It was good we did because if we had eaten in Boston we probably would have been in worse traffic and there was quite a heavy downpour all the way from Boston to New Hampshire which we missed as we ate dinner.
