Our Beantown Visit!

Pres and I had the best time in Boston this weekend. The family is Boston is huge and some have not seen Preston in the flesh since he was four months old.  Thanks to Facebook and the blog, everyone can keep up, but they were blown away by the dude.  I believe it was Ann who said, “It’s a darn shame that kid is so shy!” He was right in the mix immediately.  Kristen was graduating and in true Carol and Fred fashion they threw an amazing party.  With cousin Kathy flying in too, what a perfect weekend to go to Boston!

Preston en route to Boston.  He was so cute with his rolling Thomas luggage.  He got through the first TSA agent, then dutifully sat down and took off his shoes.  Spoiled flyer much? We arrived in Logan, picked up a Ford Edge (like Jeter) to drive and it was off to Nunny’s house for meatballs and pasta. Saturday was the party.  Here are some pictures with more to come on Facebook.

Preston and my nephew Isaiah.  They are like two peas in a pod!

Pres and Cousin Kim who is having a little girl in the fall! YAY!

Playing cornhole…and bossing Sally around.

Playing badminton with Cousin Lauren and her boyfriend Corey. I love Lauren because she is so brave to be the only Yankee fan in the Red Sox Nation family!

With Cousin Kathy.  Kathy and I are also going to start a sports show together.  No really, one day.  A Red Sox/Pats fan vs. a Yankee/Giants fan.  It will be great.

With Aunt Carol….he’s kind of cool right?

Even cooler with the shades.

With Uncle Fred.

Playing with Uncle Steve, until “Sweet Caroline” and “New York, New York” came on.  Then he decided to hop up on this rock and become (*shocker), center of attention.

Entertaining Uncle Mike.

Getting ready to go to Kristen’s play off softball game!

At the game with Aunt Ann and Mike!

Sunday morning Preston hung out at Nunny’s and Aunt Linda took him upstairs to play with Sarge, the dog.  Preston pronounces Sarge with a Boston accent.  It’s pretty funny.

And he woke up his cousin Emily too:

Pres and Nunny.

Then it was off for our day in the North End and the Harbor.  We met up with Aunt Tinka who was visiting with Maeve, Jessica (with Michael, Avery and Taylor) and Alyssia and Brooke Green with Rider and little Nate and my friend Kim, whom I worked with in Manhattan and have not seen for six years!  She just had a baby, Addison.  The cuteness abounded!  Of course, Preston was in his glory because he rode the T.  As long as there is a dirty subway station, my son is in Heaven. Brooke picked out Regina Pizzeria.  Such great pizza.  And the best part-Mike’s Pastries for dessert!

 

My friend Kim and her baby Addison!

And minus the snafu (as Mel aptly put it) with the A/C valve on our plane and having to go on a new plane, the trip was a major success!
