2 weeks away

HI all!

I have had very rare Internet access for the last couple of weeks, so now I am back in Atlanta - I can post what I have been up to.

Brad finished his drawings. They are currently on a boat to Hong Kong- go Brad!


Tuesday the 6th we flew out to Boston and took a bus to Woods Hole. We got on a short ferry and spent about 4 days with Brad's family in Martha's Vineyard. It was so fun and very relaxing. Throughout the course of the week, we beached, went clamming (I tried a semi-raw clam for the first time Yay me!), putt-putted, hung out, and rented mopeds. Here are some pics...




Then on Saturday we took the bus back to Boston for about a day. After checking in at the Langham Hotel, we meandered through the historic city and found ourselves in the North End of Boston at an Italian restaurant one of my residents recommended. It was out of this world good Italian food. Afterward, we stopped by this 24 hour bakery (there were several with long lines - so we knew this must be a staple of Boston) and shared a huge whoopie pie. The next day we walked so much - Boston was cool because the city was definitely walkable and you could see a lot of cool things. We went to Harvard Square in Cambridge. We had sandwiches from a cute eatery. I had one of New England's best sandwich contribution, the Pilgrim Sandwich, made with roasted turkey, stuffing, and cranberry dressing. And of couse I found a cute cupcake shop. We spent some time resting in the Boston Commons, a beautiful and peaceful park in the middle of the city, saw the original Cheers Bar location, walked down by Boston Harbor, walked through the cute and enticing Beacon Hill, and made a couple historic stops on Freedom Trail. All in all I was very impressed with the city and recommend all of you go there sometime if you haven't already.









This week was spent in Louisville, KY at training for work. It was sales training and I really enjoyed it. I don't have any pics from that, but I do have this one of when my puppy and I reunited after almost 2 weeks of being apart. Gosh I can't imagine leaving a child when I have one. I missed her!


Now I am home and will be for a couple of weeks.
