My brother and sister-in-law came to visit us at the beginning of August. Jeff had been here a few times before, but this was Amber's first time in the Northeast. Since they live in Idaho and we are in New Hampshire, we usually only get to see each other once a year. We had a great week and it was nice to be together as adults enjoying each other's company. More than once during the week they were here, I thought of how lucky we were to be family that love each other and enjoy spending time together.
We did a lot of eating (of course), a lot of travelling, and a lot of sight seeing. Amber has cousins in Maine that only live about an hour from us, so we got to see them and have dinner with them one night.
Jeff & Colin both had lobster. If there is anyone that actually ever reads this blog, they can probably guess what I had at the seafood restaurant! lol

While we were in Maine, we stopped at an antique store and they had a Porky Pig glass like the one that Jeff and I use to try and give each other at dinner when we were kids. Too funny since I had just mentioned it in my previous post.
We took a dinner cruise around Lake Winnipesaukee. Colin got a great picture of Jeff and Amber with the sun setting. The food wasn't great on the cruise-as Jeff kept pointing out to me- but like I kept telling him, we were there for the scenery! :)
Boston took up another day. We walked a little of the freedom trail and had dinner in the north end at a great Italian restaurant that one of our friends had recommended. Colin and I will definitely be going back there. For anyone in the area that might want to check it out, it was called Massimino's. A trip to the north end would not be complete without cannoli's from Mike's Pastry. YUM!

The highlight of our time together was the trip we took to New York City. I will give that a post of its own. Jeff & Amber-thanks for coming to visit us! We had lots of fun!
