Sue and I flew to Boston last Thursday and quickly settled into our hotel in Cambridge. Thursday night we had dinner with Sue’s college roommate, Terryl and Terryl’s husband, Rob. …

On the go (again)
I know we've been a little lax with the blog, but no sooner did we get settled in Washington, D.C., than we were packing again for a short side jaunt to NY. Yay! We do love New York. What's not to love? Anyway, we haven't done much in the way of exploring DC since our …

Road Trip!
The summer is soon upon us and we are thinking about getting in the car and driving. The Saab is still in good shape (for a 13 year old car) and so we are getting into planning mode. As Sue told you in her last post, I have started a new job where, horrors of …
