{New England was Wicked Fun!}

I am happy to share that Bob, Anna, and I are all home safe and sound after a week of touring New England.  Anna and I left with my parents last Thursday morning and stayed out there for a week and Bob joined us late Thursday night and came back to Green Bay this past Monday.  Unfortunately, due to a couple of big projects Bob is working on at work, he couldn't be away for as long as we were, but we were very excited he was still able to join us for a good chunk of the vacation and celebrate our first Father's Day with Anna out there as well.  (On a side note - Bob it working his tail off at work right now and still comes home every day with a big smile on his face -  Anna and I couldnt be more proud to have him as our number one man in our lives - Happy Father's Day sweetie!  Thank you for all you do for us - we love you!!!)

We ate, shopped, and toured our way through New England.  A few of the highlights include...

Bob, Michele, Mike and my dad went to the Brewer/Red Sox last Friday night.  If you watched the game on FSN, you may have spotted them in the stands wearing a cheesehead!   They were sitting in the 3rd row along the first base line and were thrilled to learn they made a few appearances on TV that night!  Thanks Michele for getting such awesome seats - Bob was in heaven!!!

The next day, my parents, Bob, Anna and I spent the day in Boston and took in the madness as the Bruins had won the Stanley Cup a few days before and there were big celebrations going on downtown.  We walked around, shopped at Faneuil Hall, went to the NE aquarium (where we stood behind Corey Hart in line!) and went down to the North End for pizza and gelato.  It was an awesome day and so fun to take Anna around and take all the commotion in.  She even rode her first merry go round....and LOVED it!

The rest of the vacation was spent up north on Michele and Mike's boat and we spent a day in Kennebunkport.  Anna even had the opportunity to dip her toes in the Atlantic Ocean....but boy, was it was cold!!!

I have to say, overall Anna traveled great on the trip.  While it wasn't her first plane ride, she is certainly more active and on the move now more than she was last time, so I was a little nervous taking her on the plane,  as I wasn't sure what to expect this time around, but she did absolutely awesome!  Such a social little butterfly, Anna seems to make many friends wherever she goes and this trip was no different.  All in all, Anna traveled by plane, subway, boat, and bus...certainly a veteran traveler now:)  An speaking of on the move...in the hotel in Boston, Anna stood up on her own without assistance and took her first wobbly two little steps!  She immediately falls down as it is hard for us to contain our excitement, and I think our cheering and clapping probably scares her, but has continue to practice this new trick ever since!
Big thanks to Michele and Mike for the awesome hospitality and to my parents for helping me travel with Anna - we had such an awesome trip!  Enjoy a few of our favorite pictures below!
