While I am super excited to see my loved ones and have some time devoted just to them, am I not sure these whirlwind adventures will be relaxing, per se. Fun, yes. Funny, yes. Relaxing, not as of yet.
But I am overjoyed to see these people for the first time in a year, and to see S in his bro-element with his (not so little anymore) little brother.
I will try to post as per usual these days, but family takes precedence for the rest of the month. I am oh so lucky to have family as great as mine (if I may boast).
Since I am supremo exhausted, here is an abridged recap of fun family days 1 and 2 with The Y's:
- After a 3 hours of cleaning the house, and one delayed flight, greet family at the airport.
- Walk through airport terminals and garages to car.
- Drive to the McDonald's. Discover someone walking through the drive thru. Somehow manage to get yummy food.
- Hang out at the hotel eating french fries and chicken.
- Ride in the new Mustang; fun for all.
- Discovering just how adorable O the Cat is (yet again).
- Brunch.
- Trip around Houghton's Pond.
- Family rock skipping contest.
- S's Dad constantly threatening to jump into the pond with clothes on, before he tells us he almost drowned as a child. (All true. How/why would I make it up?)
- Go back home and watch the Cantonese movie Hard Boiled.
- Coffee break.
- Dinner and Pho So 1 Boston. Way too much food.
- Grocery Shopping.
Tomorrow's it's off to the New England Aquarium!!! Can't wait to see how we fare at stealing a baby penguin. Wish us luck!
