Hi Friends and Happy Monday! Sarah and I are so glad you stopped by!

Today I am recapping our long weekend!
Thursday
I worked until 2pm and then we took off for Boston. The girls were on Spring Break last week and though we didn't have big plans outside of them hanging out with some friends, I wanted to do something special with them. So on Thursday I decided to take them to the JFK Museum in Boston/Dorchester. My parents had taken my brother and me when we were little and it was a great experience then BUT even better now with all of the films they incorporated-the girls LOVED learning about JFK and following along with his campaign and then presidency and family life. They have done an incredible job!
After the museum, we headed to Dartmouth MA and grabbed a casual dinner at The Cask N Pig...my silly girls
After dinner, it was time to head to our hotel in nearby New Bedford...we crashed early and watched some tv then tuned into watch Daddy on FB live...he and Kevin played some great tunes
Great way to fall asleep!
Friday
We were up bright and early and checked out. Then we headed back to Dartmouth and I brought the girls to one of my fave college hangouts- The Phoenix Diner. We enjoyed breakfast BUT I was so excited to introduce them to the cheese roll which is a very local specialty to Southeastern MA and they LOVED it..so much so, they convinced me to bring some home...so we did :)
1396 Tucker Road in its glory :)
Then we headed over to Lot 6 to meet up with Lea and Brooks...
We wanted to see a few of our old buildings that housed our classes and I needed to see the theater of course and we both wanted to get to the school store to get some merch and we made it all happen. A BIG thanks to Greg who runs the theater tech department...he acted as our personal tour guide and got us into the theater and explained some updates in the main campus center...very grateful for him and he made it fun and awesome! (highlight was when my girls stood on the stage that I was on so so many times) :)
Made it to the school store- YES :)
Side Note: Lea and I went to UMD at the same time but NEVER knew each other...can you believe it? We met at a park in Windham years later when Diana and Brooks were babies...can't imagine my life without her now...God definitely gifted us with our friendship...we always say we wish we knew each other in college...but maybe it is better...the campus may not be standing today....ha!
After spending a good amount of time on campus, we drove over to New Bedford to enjoy an awesome lunch at The Black Whale
Then we started a long trek home!
That night, Eva had softball and then we crashed with some Greek takeout and it was early to bed for all of us!
Saturday
We started our day with an extra long date walk- I wanted to make sure I was in shape for my company charity walk next weekend and I do feel good about that!
The rest of the day consisted of yard and pool work for Daddy- Diana took off to her friends' house and then we took Papa to the mall to shop for a suit for Kayla's wedding- he lucked out and will be stylin!
That night, Rob and I got a long awaited date night and it was pure bliss....an amazing dinner at XO on Elm and then a night cap at Windham Restaurant...so good for the soul :)
Sunday
It was time for coffee and mass then I made a big Sunday dinner so we could just heat it up later on.
It was time for tournament softball for Pidge and we all enjoyed...it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY and just perfect!
Kayla came to enjoy the games with us then we all headed home for a nice family dinner.
After dinner, I taught Kayla and Rob a dance for Kayla's wedding- it is going to be a fun one! Can't wait :)
We got some exciting news when I received a call from the NH State PTA....that news coming tomorrow!
Great weekend- what were you up to?
Remi's ready for a great week...make sure you give him the Jeep wave ;)
