Celebrating our fifth anniversary at Casey's

5 Years!!!

So young and naive

So old and wise

(Abe does not look happy we are taking this picture)

I can't believe it has been 5 years already. It has honestly been the best 5 years of my life. Cara and I have had so much fun together and we hope to continue that fun in celebrating our anniversary in NYC watching the US Open. Which is just one example of why I have the best wife ever (you know you are a lucky man when your wife suggests going to a sporting event to celebrate your 5 yr anniversary). I truly am lucky to have Cara in my life. She makes everything in my life better. I love being around her and can't wait for the next 5 years and more.

blueberries

The harvest

We went and picked blueberries last weekend.

And Hobbes hung out in a paper bag...

reunited and it feels so good

My bag and I have been reunited. I had a long overdue date with my hair dryer tonight.

Here I am in my new clothes from Target. My bag curse has hit again and my bag was in Boston when I was in Albany, I think this is about the fifth time my bag and I have found ourselves at different locations in the last five years.

Our tour guide at the site of the Battle of Saratoga

Old North Bridge where the British and Americans fought.

site of the Battle of Lexington

Boston

More pictures for Jacks. I am exhausted, we walked from 9-6. Tomorrow we go to Lexington and Concord!

Paul Revere House and basketball dancers outside Quincy Market

Site of the Boston Massacre and Samuel Adams grave

Paul Revere's grave

On the U.S.S. Constitution aka "Old Ironsides"

This is where the Boston Tea Party happened. Now it is a park, no water in sight.

The last bell Paul Revere ever made, no cracks. We had to go up some creaky stairs to get there, I was the first in my class to go up and I thought the stairs were going to collapse thanks to a squeaky water bottle hitting the wall. Scared me to death.

salem

Bewitched

Outside Rebecca Nurse's home. We did a walking tour of Danvers, MA first where the Salem witch trials actually happened and then we went to Salem where there was a witch or pirate museum on every corner. Most were awesomely bad.
