Reason for the Season-#3

New England

Ever since we have lived in NY, we have visited New England in the Fall. There is a reason we return every year- we always have so much fun.
We saw many things in our time there between our friends the Tadd and Julie Truscotts and the Jeromy and Carrie Dyers along with Carrie's parents. Here is a mostly visual representation of our jaunt north.

We'll start with the Arlington Ward Clam Bake.

I was diggin' the lobster but had to say no to the clams. They tend to make my skin crawl.

We went downtown on Sunday to meet up with Jeromy and Carrie and their family while they were visiting Carrie's parents. We spent a couple of days with them.

Dan flew back to NY Tuesday morning, and I spent the rest of the week with Julie.

On our last day together, Julie and I took the kids to Maine to shop at the outlets and to see the picturesque Nubble Lighthouse.

I'm pretty sure it's the first time I have seen it with a blue sky in the background.

We had such a great time with our friends, and we felt more than welcome.

Dan flew in Friday so we could spend a bit more time with his brother's family. We took a morning bike ride along the river with J & C in the brisk Fall air.
Dan drove home with us Saturday and we stayed put for a relaxing Conference weekend- another reason why I love the Fall!
