Adventures: Kapalkas Visit

Ginger's parents came in visit in October, taking Amtrak again.

Stephen gave tours of his project on the navy base and the construction site.

We explored some new parts of the island, and bought pumpkins. 

 

We spent a lot of time in Jamestown, on the nearby island. Beavertail Lighthouse.

 

We spent a weekend in Rye, NH, visited our friend John and Holly. They took us to Strawberry Banke, an old neighborhood in Portsmouth from the 1700s which has been preserved. We played some old children's games.

 

Ginger met the resident cat. There was a stuffed-toy version of this cat in every house with a different colored badanna. The children's tour had a worksheet for them to list what color bandanna was found in each house for extra fun and prizes. 

 On our way home from NH, we stopped in Boston to see the USS Constitution. Sadly, we just missed the closing tour, but got to look at the outside anyway. We did get to tour a WWII ship, the USS Cassin Young.

In Jamestown, we visited a historic windmill, and firestation full of old fire wagons. Where ever we went, Mom & Dad found plenty to photograph.
