Boston here we come!
Gentry, Gillian and I left for Boston last Thursday. We came to stay with Adam's family Tony, Kim and Sybil down on the Cape. The end of June Adam ventured off alone with Chaia left Utah to go back east. Adam and Chaia stayed in New York for a few days with her Auntie La La and Uncle G then made their way to the Cape. During the time Chaia and I were apart she met many people and saw may things. When I talked to her on the phone she went into specific detail what she saw, ate, drank, who she played with. I couldn't understand much of what was said but it seemed to be very important. She also went to her first Red Sox game (well second if you count the game she saw when she was in the womb) YEAH!!! Sox kicked butt that game 18 to 4.
Our reunion was bitter sweet I haven't been away from Chaia for more than three days. Phew that was hard! She was so excited to see us, she was squealing with excitement. I've never seen her so happy to see her sissys'. Chaia changed so much in that little amount of time it was amazing. Her vocabulary increased dramatically. She's growing up.
The past week has been very nice and relaxing. We spent many days and hours at the beach. The Gentry and Gillian's favorite beach was Naucet beach the waves were the biggest at this particular beach. The weather was absolutely beautiful couldn't ask for more perfect time down here. We took the speed boat out on the ocean, saw harbor seals and watched the fishing boats unload their catch for the day. (interesting but very gross). We also took the tube out on the water and all of us took our turn even Chaia is was fun to see her reaction.
All in all it was a very nice vacation tomorrow we leave to go into the city and spend a week with Adam's mother Linda and her side of the family. Should be fun!!!

San Fransisco
Two weekends ago I decided to step out of my comfort zone...I went on vacation by MYSELF to San Fransisco. It was a last minute decision but proved to be one trip I will never forget. I saw and experienced things I wouldn't change for the world. I ate amazing food, saw amazing sights, meet amazing people. I was blown away how friendly people were and willing to have such interesting conversations.
I did do the touristy things like going to Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Union Square, Golden Gate Park. They were all great...but what I really loved was walking up and down the streets and going into the little stores and restaurants. I loved hearing Frank Jackson and his jazz band play at Pearl's. Pearl's is a very quaint notorious jazz place, he was amazing!!!!! Dancing until 4:00 a.m. my pore little legs couldn't take anymore. In Golden Gate Park A band called Life House was playing a free concert (fun treat), beautiful botanical gardens. My favorite part of the park was the De Young Museum where they were featuring a world renowned glass blower named Dale Chihuly. If you ever have the opportunity to see his work DO IT!!!!! The most important thing I learned about my trip was being alone...eating, sleeping, walking alone. Very difficult when you have been a mother 1/3 of your life. Great experience!!!! I would go back to San Fransisco again in a heartbeat, although I think I would take someone with me.
