Cape Trip Day 3

Our day started with (at least) a 4 mile hike. Cousin Anne told us that there was a trail through the woods that was flat. A welcome suggestion since most of Cape is very hilly! So we took off. Unfortunately, there was some sort of miscommunication. We went right where we should have gone left. Most of the trail was not through the woods. And it was not a loop as we had thought. SO with no sunscreen and a 4 mile walk back, we called Anne to rescue us!
When we got back we spent some down time with Archie. Brian enjoyed reading some of his favorite books with her and, of course, watching golf on the television.


Then this afternoon we went to Cairo to see Mom’s friend Debbie from high school and Granddad’s friend Mildred. We ate at the local Barb-b-que joint that was just around the corner from Mom’s house growing up. She was thrilled to eat there! I had a grilled cheese :) Anyway, it was good to see both ladies. We went for a drive though town…what a sad, dilapidated place, and took some pictures down by the rivers (Mississippi and Ohio meet in Cairo).


Tonight we cooked and had some more of Mom and Dad’s friends join us for dinner. Then we headed over to cousin Anne’s for dessert. Most of the family is in, so we had a good time visiting. Brian had a BLAST playing golf in the yard with some of the cousins (one of them is well over 6 feet tall). Brian thought it was great that he could dunk the golf ball in the basketball goal with Jeremy’s help! We brought him back to Archie’s a sweaty mess and he had some fun with Andrew before bath time. He fell asleep in under 5 minutes.



P.S. I will write up days 4 and 5 tomorrow if I have time! I still have to catch up on laundry :)
