Date: Monday, May 18, 2026
Weather: Sunny and Warm; High Temp 72, Low 58 degrees F
Location: At Home with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA

Today I led a field trip to the Massachusetts maritime Academy, and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. There were 28 of us and we had a great time.

The weather was gorgeous and the cadets who led us on a tour of the Patriot State, a 525-foot-long training ship that arrived there in October of 2024, were very impressive. As was the ship.

After the ship tour, we had lovely lunch in the student cafeteria, toured the engineering building, and ended our day in the simulator where anyone who wanted got a chance to be at the wheel taking us through the Cape Cod Canal. It was great fun!

When I got home, I switched gears to fix dinner for the Goldpebbles while Heather and Jed attended other events. I love my evenings with the Goldpebbles.
