Whew. Today’s been
long! I got up at 5 and walked before
getting the kids up, showering, packing and getting out the door at 7:30.
The trip itself was pretty uneventful – our flight to Boston
was a little late but we made up the time in the air. I watched Lady Bird (it was great). But when we landed I got a text from Becky
telling me that my dad was admitted into the ER and lost all of his memories
from the past week.
By the time I’d gotten the messages, he seemed to have
gotten slightly better. Very scary and
definitely a vacation killer.
We grabbed our black Toyota Camry from Logan Airport and
began the long drive from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine. We stayed on the toll roads for half of the
trip until we pulled off at Brunswick, ME and ate dinner at Cameron’s Lobster
House. It was like a Sonic and a seafood
restaurant combined and it was fun. We
sat outside and it was relaxing. The
previous 2.5 hours of driving had been in a hard rain so it was nice to get out
of the car, walk around and eat.
Rather than get back on the toll roads, we decided to take
the scenic route the rest of the way and it was really beautiful. We’re surprised at how similar to Oregon it
seems up here.
We finally checked into the Bar Harbor Best Western at 9pm
ET and our room’s great. I called my mom
and also spoke with my dad and he’s down. The doctor told him that he
absolutely can’t run anymore and I’m heartbroken. I don’t know what he’ll decide to do tomorrow
and I hate not being there with him.
He’ll spend the night at the hospital tonight and then we’ll see what
happens.
Also, Grant, whose ear had been bothering him for a few days, but yesterday said it felt fine, is now miserable with an ear infection so
we’re researching urgent care facilities in Bar Harbor.
I sure hope this trip gets better.
