Day 20: Rockland, MA

Sorry for the morning update, I was so tired last night, I went to bed before Leah!

Anyway, we woke up and took the car to get an oil change. They didn't do window repairs there, but they looked at the window and said we were fine for now. After that, we tried to do some sight seeing in Cape Cod, but everything was either closed (Scargo Tower, Ocean Spray Cranberry Tour) or impossibly difficult for us to find that early in the day. We got some coffee and drove up to Plymouth where we saw the Mayflower II and Plymouth Rock, which, after all the downplaying I gave to the rock itself, was actually almost impressive.

Then we drove up to Lexington/Concord to see the Minute Men Historic National Park (or Monument, we can't remember). It was a nice drive/walk, but overall we weren't too enthralled with the history as it was laid out for us to soak in.

After that we sat in the car for a few hours in a parking lot trying to figure out a warranty issue with Leah's dad about the car, the resolve is that we can't go to New Hampshire or Maine until this is fixed, so we are stuck in Boston, which we can't tour until Leah's parents join us.

We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for a light dinner, and we were surprised to learn that happy hour is illegal in Massachusetts! Instead, they have food discounts for happy hour rather than drink discounts, so we took advantage of that.

We slept in this morning, and now we're going to get breakfast! Bye, <3 Al
