Anniversary Weekend

Ben and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on Sunday, and it was an amazing weekend! The weather was ideal, and the best part of all was that my family came to visit! We saw the sights--the harbor, Faneuil Hall, the North End, the Public Garden, Newbury Street, the Revere Beach Sand Sculpting Festival, etc. We also took a Duck Tour in a big yellow duck that was once an amphibious military vehicle that can function both as a truck and a boat. It was a great way to see the city both from the city streets and from the Charles River.

Thanks, Mom & Greg, for a great weekend and a wonderful anniversary dinner in the North End! We are so happy that you could come, too, Sarah! We love hosting guests--it was a great weekend!

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Laura and Ben,

You may be in Yankeeland, but you sure boasted some fine Southern hospitality. Thank you for showing us around Boston and sharing your home with us. Y'all sure have a nice home and it was really a blast to come see you there.

Love you,

Greg
