Our trip up and down the Rhine

Our one year

Holy crap we made it a year! In that time I've taught Kenny to go to bed later than 9:30, sleep occasionally past 7, and throw his socks somewhat closer to the hamper. In that same amount of time he's taught me to go to bed earlier than 12, get up before 7 occasionally, and that the socks don't always need to be in the hamper. Jokes aside, it's been a great year and I look forward to as many more as he'll put up with me for ;-)

Tiger Cubs

For whatever reason there were Tiger cubs in the mall one weekend. We thought when are we going to get another chance to play with tigers?

DC to Boston to DC

Every year I try to get out to see my sister around her birthday. This year my mom came around the same time and I was able to drag Kenny with me.

Otis. The bird Kenny learned to hate.


First and last night in D.C. with my mom and my sister.

As part of our vacation we'd decided to drive from DC to Boston to visit Kenny's brother and sister. It was a long long drive.

My first underwater tunnel.

I want to say this is Harbor Bridge... but I'm probably wrong. It's in Baltimore though.

New Jersey Turnpike. Never play the alphabet game on this road.

Closer to New York City than I've ever been!

We paid close to 25$ to go from Washington D.C. to Boston, just in tolls.


This is New York from the car on the George Washington Bridge. It took long enough to get around the city, we figured it would take too long to actually go in.


Road sign entering Connecticut.

This is somewhere in Connecticut. A bigger state than I thought.


We finally arrived in Boston around 9 o'clock at night and with my stellar navigation skills found EJ's house!


Couldn't have asked for a better photo op.








Put the camera down Jen.


It was colder than it looks here. This might have been the biggest street I saw near the North End though.


I like to make fun of statues, what can I say I'm a child I know.

EJ passing everyone up!

Kenny and I at the top of the Prudential Center. It was really sunny out.

Tortoise and the Hare. This is where the Boston Marathon ends. Kenny's bro got a 3:06 !!

I loved this city!

Kenny in front of Fenway Park view.


Kenny and sister Nicole at the Aquarium with the fishes.

We went to the Boston Aquarium with Kenny's sister. It was stinky but fun!


This is me showing Nicole what I bought for my friend Blair as a birthday present. She doesn't look amused.

Pretty cool looking picture of the T-Stop near Quincy Market.

This is Nicole's Gimoungas Cat. Really sweet and loving though.

Kenny decided that his face needed a bit of a breather from the goatee. I snook in this shot, which turned out really cute and funny.

This was taken at the top of the tower on "Bunker" hill... which isn't actually Bunker Hill I guess. Or something like that.

This is some view or another of Boston.

We then flew back from Boston to DC via JetBlue (fantastic airline FYI)

All in a visit for my "lil" big sis's Birthday! Love ya Tina

Sing Sing Birthday Celebration!

Me and Nat at the beginning of the evening.


Bucket o liquor. Melanie looks like she's not drinking it but if you ask me I think she downed it all when weren't looking.


Maria and Steve looking like they need more to drink :-)


Jody and some fellow! Love Jody for thinking this whole Birthday thing together.


Me, Carolyn and Maria. Probably the best pic out of me the whole night and I don't remember taking it! Love these girls just the same!


Donnie and Christian - ole' drinkin buddies.


Me and Jen at the very end of the evening. I'm sure this was supposed to be a hug, but I probably fell into her :-)


Kenny got some of a shot on his face... I think it was Ben's doing. Silly boys.

Dancing Drunking.... wait.


What's my age again?
