Last week we did a four day trip with stops in 3 states. Exhausting, but very fun. (And efficient!:)
Wednesday night - drove from home to the Larsen's cabin in western MA for 36 hours of relaxation with good friends from Philly. We packed in all our "traditions" in this 2nd annual trip - amazing fondue for dinner after the kids go to sleep, the guys wiffle ball game, and lots of relaxing in & by the water. So much fun to see how all the kiddos have grown since last summer, and so nice to have some quality time to catch up.
Friday morning we headed out to Philly and spent the day swimming at the local pool (thanks to Uncle Alden the lifeguard) and visiting with Granny, Aunt Eowyn & Ben. It was very hot. Granny had surgery on a broken ankle a month ago, and is now in a boot. We stressed to Emily that she needed to be very gentle... which meant that every time she noticed the boot (~100 times/day), she said with great concern "Are you ok, Granny?"
Saturday morning we left Emily in their capable hands and drove down to DC to meet up with parents. We had a yummy Mexican lunch, visited the Spy Museum (very cool, very crowded) and then Becky joined us for the Barcelona vs. Man U game at FedEx Field. We had great seats and it is just incredible to see those guys up close. Despite some pretty wretched officiating, we had a great time.
Sunday we swung back through Philly to pick up Emily and celebrate Becky's birthday with cheesesteaks (my mother in law makes the best ones I've had) and amazing cupcakes made by Becky's former roommate. Mmm.
Lots of thanks to Eowyn for dealing with a very sad 2 year old during most of Saturday night!!! (No photographs were taken.)
