The first day we went to Maine to see the Nubble Lighthouse and stop in at the cutest restaurant. We dined on clam chowder, a salmon wrap with sweet potato fries, and an avocado crab melt with Havarti cheese. To top all that off we had some gooey blueberry crumble a la mode, and laughed later when we found out that Maine is the largest exporter of blueberries and toothpicks.
Boston also peaked my sisters interest so we traveled down there and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We visited Harvard, Cheers, saw the Public Gardens (which I can't wait to go back and enjoy more) and Fenway Park. Not bad for 20 degree windy weather! Erika did an amazing job navigating to our different destinations. Caroline would say "Bouncy!, Bouncy!" when the brakes were hit due to crazy Boston drivers. She also imitated the GPS when the lovely computer voice said "recalculating route" Caroline said, "cal corclating rout" or some such darling nonsense. It had us rolling with laughter.
Most memorable of all, my sisters were here for little Olive's blessing. We wish all of our family could have been here, but we loved that we had Corinne and Erika. The morning of was crazy with lots of unhappy wails from sweet Olive. She must have felt pretty special in her dress because she was calm and content all through her blessing and church.
Thanks for coming guys, it was fun to just relax and hang and THANK YOU for all the help! Come again soon.
And coming to a New England winter this Saturday....Grandma Mary and Grandpa Wayne! Keep 'em coming guys, let's keep this futon warm.

How fun!!! I wish my sisters & I were that close. The most fun we've had is going through my Mom's house after she died recently & finding all the old cards, pictures, etc that funny old people save & save.
Are you guys getting dumped on with the snow storms where you are at? No one has said anything about being snowed in & not being able to go to law school out there.
Have a happy Valentine's day with your hubby. We will be thinking about you guys as we celebrated Sarah's birthday at Grandma's.
I had so much fun...I may even get back on a plane and do it again later in the year. I said maybe.
I love you!
