Sunday: driving home
Sep. 18th, 2022 11:30 amWe got up fairly early to go home, in order to be there in time for A.’s 11:30 swim lesson (the men left later, and stopped at Treehouse in Sandwich). There wasn’t much point to getting up early, because A. is feeling sick again. We forgot to take our allergy meds yesterday, which _might_ have been an explanation and zyrtec did help, but not really enough. I feel pretty congested again, too. *sigh*
I handed a key to the room over to T., in case I forgot anything and so they could check out of both rooms and if T. wanted to hang out in our room and not bug R. while R. slept in, that would all work out. Of course I forgot the leftovers in the fridge. I did text to ask them to grab them, but who knows if they remembered them. I’ll find out later. I was sort of looking forward to the leftovers later today.
Drive home was fast and uneventful. I forget the exact charge when I arrived, maybe 34%? I would have been able to make it back without charging at the mall but it would have been tight and I would have been anxious. Cape is _very_ manageable with an electric car with 300 miles range, altho the fast chargers are not very thick upon the ground out there. Neither are solar panels, for that matter.
I realized a bunch of things that make the Cape less than ideal as a vacation location. First and always: traffic. But also, it _ought_ to be walkable / bikeable, but, the aforementioned cars. Unlike a lot of touristic small towns, the Cape, for the most part, is drive from place to place. You don’t drive, park, walk around all day, retrieve car, go back to home / hotel. Second, it’s noisy. The combo is stressful in a ton of different ways for different family members.
