Long Weekend

Hi to everyone. We are back to the daily grind today after a beautiful and relaxing 4 day weekend. Rich started his next summer semester today. Econ, Statistics and Accounting, better him than me! I am back at my desk trying to make it through the day. Saturday we drove to Rome. We met up with Jared and Jess and headed over to the lake. After a few hours on the boat we headed in for dinner at Charlotte's Creekside out on their deck. Sunday we lounged in the morning and then met up with Jared and Jess and went to Sylvan Beach for lunch with Dad and Debbie and played some sweet arcade games. Sunday night we christened Jared & Jess's new house with theit first dinner party which finished off with homemade peach shortcake, mmmm! Monday we went boating with Mom and Chuck. The weather was perfect. I took some driving lessons and learned how to dock that beast of a party barge. We stopped off at Kik and Teds dock to say hi since they were home too. Scott brought his little beagle Lucy out for a while and she was so good! If only Jax hadn't discovered swimming, he would be a much better boating companion. That night we had a July 4th picnic on Mom's deck and then headed back out on the boat to eat our flag cake and watch the sun set. Tuesday morning we collected wedding and shower gifts, packed the car and headed home. We unpacked and went to Wellesley for a bbq at our friend Lisa's and then went to watch fireworks in Newton. We made it home from those just in time to watch the fireworks on the Charles in Boston. We could kinda see them from our living room windows. We also were watching on TV and had the windows open so we could hear all the booms. It was pretty cool and the fireworks were impressive as always.

It is back to Rome this weekend for Kimberly and Dave's wedding! It will be fun to be part of their day while remembering all the fun and excitement of ours. We are actually considering an anulment so we can do it all over again :). We also hope to return to Rome to find the Malibu Maxx as good as new! Hope everyone is well. Love you all.
