    I have done that path once. It is beautiful, but short.
    I have never been to the Kennedy Museum in hyannis, but the library in Boston is awesome.

    Despite having lived on the Cape, that was my first time riding the canal path. On my way home, I left Eastham after breakfast, stopped in Sandwich, rode the path at a pretty fast pace (until I turned around and faced a headwind), had lunch, ice cream, and continued on my way. I wasn't in a rush, and it was nice to break up the trip. I'm looking forward to going back.

    I think my parents were looking at the Kennedy thing in Hyannis. We chose Plymouth because it's way less expensive than being on the Cape and is more convenient for the days we will be going to Boston. I figured we'd have to put up with traffic getting around. Most of us are used to it, living in NY, DC or LA.

    I added Plymouth to my list of Weatherbug locations and looked at the 10-day forecast. WTF, it's barely hitting 70 for a high temp. Looks like I wasted lots of time and money buying a swimsuit that I won't be wearing because it will be too cold. Also this complicates the whole packing thing -- will need more long sleeves, long pants, closed-toed shoes, sweaters.

    Gone but not forgotten:

    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Always sweaters and sweatshirts by the ocean, especially at night. The ocean water in Plymouth is freezing all year round, but if you have a sunny 70 degree day, you might get in the pond.
    Let me know if you will make it to Concord and when you will be here.
