As we woke up we considered how to spend the day. We knew we wanted to spend as much time as possible with Scott’s Niece Laurel and her husband Kyle, but they had a 2 month old infant – Brooke – and we didn’t want to intrude with too long of a visit.
We thought we would look for something to do on the way to their home in Concord, NH – roughly a two hour drive. We were lucky that the Wright Museum of WW II was about half the way there. But they don’t open until noon on Sundays.
We took care of housekeeping and email tasks, and did some planning for the next few days, then took off for the museum. We planned to each lunch in the parking lot – an excellent plan since they have a large expansion lot that was both level and shaded.
The museum was small, but very well done. It was unique in that it concentrated on the home front and the conditions for American citizens between 1939 and 1945. What things cost, what songs were popular, movies and books, and such in addition to the roles of different military branches, women, black people, and such. It also had a small exhibit of tanks, motorcycles, jeeps, and ambulance, and other rare military vehicles from the war.





After the visit we arrived at Laurel and Kyle’s house around 4PM. Scott tried to re-enact his role of baby whisperer, with somewhat uneven success. But he is certain Brooke prefers him to all the other grand-uncles. A good bet since he is the only Bentley she has met except Cindy, Scott’s sister and Laurel’s mother.

We at a takeout meal with the Kings and more chatting and baby-cooing, it was time to return to our campground at Suncook River Camp and bed.
