Today we went with my mom & Ron to a touristy farm up here in Massachusetts that had tons of things to do for the kids. It ended up being a really fun place but beforehand I wasn’t sure what we were heading into. I actually wore Jeff’s rugged day pack, ready for any & [...]

Right now we’re supposed to be in North Carolina visiting Jeff’s Aunt Cathy & Uncle Gard (**it was going to be an enmeshed family trip in our minivan — that would have definitely earned a rather long blog entry - sorry that the world will have to miss out on that one) ~~
