Love that dirty water...


We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Boston. Our main reason for travel was to witness the nuptials of one Andrew Gelles and Jess DeNino, but we also got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa and some other east coast friends. I appreciated all the relatives clamoring for Ivy's attention, at last giving me more than an hour at a time of free hands. I frittered most of that time away, but that's what vacation is for.

Highlights of the trip include:
  • A VERY easy plane ride, although American Airlines no longer allows "passengers traveling with small children" to preboard. WTF??!! It's not that costs them any money!
  • An interesting moment in which GGH revealed a bit too much of himself while holding my precious daughter. I'm trying to block that image from my memory.
  • The main event - the wedding. Especially the bad-ass candy bar. Oh yeah, and the love.
  • A shopping spree at Carters at the Wrentham outlets, courtesy of Grandma. In fact, the whole trip was really an extended fashion show.
  • Ivy hanging out with Audrey. Future Penn roommates, perhaps?
  • Ivy sleeping for marathon stretches of time...awesome for her, not so much for the boobs.
Now we're back, and trying not to drown in thank you notes that need to be written and other paperwork/bills that need to be addressed. At least we finally unpacked. Whew. I miss vacation! And in other news, we may have found a day care for Ivy. It still breaks my heart to think about someone else taking care of her, but procrastination finding an arrangement would not do any of us any good. So alas, we are bringing a deposit today. Siiiiigh....
