Boston

So we went up last weekend to Boston for my mom's graduation from Boston University. She was part of the first class that graduated from their online program. There were several there that had also gotten their master's degree online. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy so we were unable to do some of the things we were going to- like the freedom trail- but it was a good short trip nevertheless. My dad graduates in July from University of Phoenix so we will be going to Phoenix then- I am thinking that it will be warmer there. :-)

And they called it Puppy Love...

So I went down this weekend to visit some girlfriends in SC and to also see how Piper would do with the dog she is going to be staying with while I am up in Boston next weekend. ( Annabelle had already met him.) Piper fell in love with my friend's Westie - a short, fluffy rug ( as I call him) named Hugo. She and he were non-stop in playing and chasing each other all over the house. And at night, they would cry in their separate kennels...

Next weekend is my mom's graduation from BU in Boston. So I am leaving late Fri and coming back Mon. Fun, fun. We will be staying in Woburn, MA, which coincidentally is where one of our ancestors is buried ( I think it is the Salem witch trial one, but I am not for sure now).

The Colorado Trip Part II

Ah, so finally I will post about the rest of the trip. Kari had an inservice to go to on Monday for work so I went to the store and got Starbucks coffee. :-) That afternoon we drove through the Garden of the Gods and then by accident drove past the Cave of the Winds. So we decided to stop there. On a small world note, we met a nurse there with her kids who is from the next county over from me in NC and she works at a hospital that sends patients to mine. The cave was neat- had a light bulb placed in it by Thomas Edison and they have left it there, of course. We all were really short of breath at one room in the cave and our guide told us that was because we were at the highest point in the cave- about 8000 feet above sea level.

We ate supper at Zios which is a really neat and relatively inexpensive Italian restaurant in the midwest. It reminded me of Macaroni Grill but with way better Trump Loi. :-)

I left on Tuesday and flew through O'Hara in Chicago. I am so glad I left Tuesday and not Wednesday as on Wednesday there was a big storm and there were big delays at O'Hara and probably in Colorado as well.

Tomorrow is the day!!

For my interview!!! It is from 8-3+. So it is all day long!
