Our Getaway

Our Getaway was successful. We headed out around noon and over the new Fort Knox bridge and ended up in Campden for some sidewalk shopping (should have bought that vest with the fur collar)and just poked around until we could step foot into Cody's Tavern in Rockport at 3:30. Cody's is only open late afternoon until evening. We were considered the early birds. Well I'll tell you what - I've never seen a restaurant fill up as quickly as this place did. I think the whole place upstairs and down and bar area was full within a half hour - no joke. The food was good and the atmosphere was busy and plenty to take a look at(old signs and license plates and old rescue tobaggans/sleds - etc. We were really really full when we left- so needless to say no dinner was needed that night. Cody's slogan is "Just Plain Good Food" and it was!! We planned on taking our first adventure picture in the foyer of the restaurant on the old fashioned stools but the foyer was so packed with people waiting it was pointless so we took pictures outside for our adventure journal. We also stopped at one of Tony's worksites where he is putting in a concrete foundation. You should see this spot - overlooking the water - multi-multi million dollar when completed. So we had a great time with our friends and did alot of stomach aching laughing - Tony received the prize of the t-shirt because he was the planner of this trip! Now it is up to David or myself to come up with the next destination - so we will see!

That bridge is just plain scary! Bridges don't bother me like they do Don but driving over that one last summer gave me the willies. Keep a journal of your trips and you can write a travel log with recommendations. Have fun. Love, Patty
