I took this selfie with Kika and I was surprised by how much I look like my sister in this one.

Newport, RI

Jun 23,

This afternoon Sofifi and I finally made it to Newport together. Since she loves history, I have been wanting for her to see The Breakers. The weather was a bit cloudy but warm. I was going to drive, but she said she wanted to drive instead. 

When we got to Newport we first went to the Ocean drive, mainly because we missed the house, and got out of the car to take a coupe of photos. At The Breakers she went through it a bit faster than I would have hoped for to feel that I got my money's worth, but she said she liked it. And I still think that the balcony, and the grounds, are impressive and the best part of the house. 

After The Breakers we had a quick bite to eat, walked around for a few minutes, and headed back.

Aquarium

Jun 22,

After a full year here it finally feels like we are staying, at least for a while, so I finally filled the aquarium again. I got it ready this morning, and this afternoon the girls and I went to the pet store to get 4 tropical fish. May this be another step towards things feeling normal and more settled.

Celtics Parade

Jun 21,

Today Cheryl, our co-worker Pete and his daughter, and I went to the Celtics Parade to celebrate their 18th championship. Not something I would normally sign up for, but Cheryl wanted to go and I thought "why not?". We were gone for about 3 hours and had a very Boston sort of day. I took the T (the subway) for the very first time ever, we had a drink from Dunkin' Donuts, and during our walk back to the office we decided to splurge and get ourselves a lobster roll for lunch.

It was hot but bearable, and even though it was sunny we were in the shade while we waited for and during the parade. And I enjoyed during something different and experiencing more of the city.

Newburyport and Inside Out

Jun 19,

After getting a good workout in the morning, this afternoon Cheryl and I made a flash trip to Newburyport, about 1.5 hours away from Boston. We didn't have that much time, but wanted to check it out. It was very hot, so I took this big hat with me that I have had forever but have only used a handful of times. 

After we came back, we got Bella and went to see Inside Out 2. Sofia had a friend from Cincinnati in town, so they were doing their own thing. I think the first movie was better, but the second one was cute too.
