United StatesThe last leg, with Janice's sister Connie and her husband Lee in Derry, New Hampshire. We outran Hurricane Henri up from the Cape, ate our way through a New England boiled dinner and the famous 'Stan potatoes,' visited Janice's parents' graves at Lake Sunapee, and played a friendly nine with Lee's buddies before the long drive home.

United StatesNorth from Pinehurst to Cape Cod, to see Janice's Uncle Bill and Aunt Margaret in Harwich. Along the way, Plymouth Rock and, at the Barnstable courthouse, the statues of James Otis and Mercy Otis Warren, two Founding-era figures who happen to be Janice's own ancestors. Then eye-watering lobster rolls, the Mooncussers Tavern, and a round of golf with ninety-three-year-old Uncle Bill.

We turned for home a day early, ahead of a storm.
