Henry and I are headed east on Saturday for a two-week adventure. We first land in Boston to visit my sister Jennifer. We've got tickets to the Red Sox-Diamondbacks game Monday night! (Look for us on ESPN - we're near third base, catching fouls.) We'll do the Freedom Trail and the Swan boats, of course, Faneuil Hall, Children's Museum. Walk around Harvard with my sister the professor, and get a little city action.
Then we take the train to New Haven, CT to visit my sister Susan. This will be Henry's first train ride! We'll hit the beach there, rain or shine. We'll walk around Yale and buy a sweatshirt, eat New Haven's best pizza, and relax.
Next we fly to North Carolina for the annual family gathering for the 4th. Swimming in the pool and hanging with family is about all that's on the agenda there, plus any big summer blockbuster that's at the 16-plex. Flying back to Bend on July 5.
These are the times memories are built of. Not the wildly exciting trip to Disneyland (though that's on the summer agenda as well), but spending time with family, goofing around doing next to nothing. It's important to me that Henry makes and strengthens that bond with his extended family, especially as it's just the two of us way up here in Oregon.
