Yup, the trip was over two weeks ago. Yup, the post is going to be short – mainly because some of the details have been lost. Yup, I’ve been busy doing other things. And lastly, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get done what I want to get done. The Timeline area continues to be a good thing – makes me put something there every day or so. On with our trip…
Before Dara started her new job (which she did yesterday), we had wanted to travel “down south” to visit some friends and their new family additions. So, we left our house on a Friday and arrived back on Tuesday. The first leg of the trip was spent in Massachusetts visiting the Townsend family: Brady, Tracey, Cassandra and Max (woof). It was really nice to finally see Cassie in person, having only ever seen her in the digital form. I had forgotten what it was like to have a 4 month old. I can’t say I’m anxious to go back there soon. Cassie was great – nothing against her – just that stage of life. Here’s a nice picture of the spouses and kids:
After having visited Massachusetts, we headed down to Connecticut to see the Parnin clan: Frank, Stephanie, Mary & Samantha. They had been out to see us in New York shortly after Quincy was born, but we had yet to see Samantha in person. We all had a really nice time catching up and enjoying the controlled chaos that comes from trying to corral 3 kids. Here’s a cute picture of Stephanie holding all the kids:
We had a great time on our journey and Quincy did very well with all the travel and varied sleeping locations. I’d like to apologize for the brief write-up – that’s the problem with waiting so long to do it. We won’t be traveling anywhere anytime soon. Our next scheduled visit is Grammie and Grampa Rock coming up over Christmas – so look for more posts then. I’ll continue to post brief blurbs in the Timeline section as things occur – and they always do. 🙂
