Weekend in Boston

We had a great but busy weekend last weekend. 

On Thursday, we drove up to Carver to visit my grammy.  We spent the night visiting with grammy and playing fill or bust.  Of three games, we each won once, so we were able to all head to bed fairly satisfied.  On Friday, we visited grampy at the nursing home he's in. It was nice to see him and he's doing so much better than he was when we saw him last.  He's got a cute roommate named Bob and the place he's staying seems nice.

After our goodbyes, we headed up to Duxbury to the Thomas home.  We met up with Adrian and got to snuggle a bit with Collette before we headed up to Boston for Maura & Kirk's wedding.  The wedding was at the Boston Public Library and was beautiful.  The perfect setting for Maura and a great time catching up with friends like Abby/Adrian, Rich/Laura, Wong/Scott, Craig/Alicia, Jim/Sherry, Julie, Allegra and of course, the beautiful bride.  Maura looked perfect and incredibly happy... her smile, as always, contagious.  I can't wait for a chance to finally spend a little bit more time with her new husband, Kirk (the only times I've met him were at our wedding and at theirs, so needless to say, we haven't really had much time to get to know one another!) 


Despite a late night and an early morning, Saturday was also a great day.  We caught up a bit more with Abby and Adrian and cuddled a bit more with Collette!  and then headed down to New Haven CT to visit with Tate/Suzie, Matt/Nicole and Pete/Meg... plus all their kiddos.  Another delicious meal: cold pizza, veggie burgers and root stew (I know... none of that sounds particularly good, but trust me... it was delicious) and time visiting with friends and getting to know their little ones really warmed my heart. 


We stayed the night with Tate & Suzie and after Tate's delicious french toast (he told us the secret ingredient so we will be trying this one soon ourselves!) we went for a hike down to the beach, found the perfect spot to open a coffee/ice cream shop and explored the local farm market.  More goodbyes and we were on our way back home to NJ.... tired, but happy to see so many dear friends.
