We're back

We had a great time on our trip-got to see lots of New England and had a super visit with our friends. We spent a day in Boston where we saw MIT, Harvard and Boston U-we all feel really smart now. Also went by Fenway Park, Freedom Trail and had dinner at "Cheers." The next day we headed off to Vermont to tour the Ben and Jerry's plant but that was kind of a let down. The tour consisted only of a 6 minute video, looking at the production room from above and watching another video about the parts we couldn't see, plus they weren't even making ice cream that day, and then downstairs for a sample. It was really more of a glorified trip to the ice cream parlor than anything else. But it was a nice scenic drive there. The next day it rained but we did take in some of the sights of Maine-checked out the coast and some lighthouses. And then it was back home and back to work. I'll try and get some pictures posted tomorrow!

It sounds wonderful. I'd like to live in New England. Maybe someday.

I grew up in southern Mass. My parents are still in the same house (31 years now). I love driving up through New Hampshire and Vermont. There's a lot that is nice about New England. Sounds like a nice trip!
