I see lots of really pretty flowers on my walks to and from work.

Somebody missed their mommy …

Gorgeous sunrise skies this morning as we drove from Asheville to the airport in Charlotte.

After dinner, we took a scenic drive up through the Blue Ridge Parkway and watched a gorgeous memorable sunset over the mountains. Lots of great photos ops 🙂

Becca took us to one of her favorite places to walk … we walked the whole way around Beaver Lake, then wandered through the bird sanctuary before heading back to the house to relax.

Visiting Becca usually means singing after breakfast 🙂

Our visit to Asheville began with a delicious dinner at a bbq restaurant (can’t remember the name, but it was awesome!) Good food tastes better with old friends 🙂

We had a pretty cool view of Central Park as we landed in LaGuardia for a layover on our way to North Carolina.

Merry and Jeremy hosted a lovely summer bbq to celebrate the sixth anniversary of me and Merry turning 29 earlier this month. We’ve been celebrating our birthdays together since circa 1992, and it was really nice way to spend a cool Memorial Day weekend afternoon. Plus it’s always fun to play with Liz and Jen’s girls. I was a lucky auntie when two little girls climbed onto my lap to play a bizarre game of pretending to bite each other and giggling about it. (thanks to Brian and Lee for the photos)

While we were in Maryland celebrating family occasions, we were able to take advantage of a little bit of down time at the hotel on Friday afternoon … Hannah brought her son to visit, which was so lovely because we hadn’t seen either of them in too long! Who knew that watching a two-year-old explore a hotel lobby could be so entertaining!

We had the honor of joining friends at their wedding food tasting … we got treated to a delicious meal, we got to help them make some decisions, and we got to see the gorgeous venue where they’ll be getting married in a few short months! A lovely evening with good friends

Another magical evening at the Gardner Museum!

We visited the Hyannis Inner Harbor, the Marconi Wireless Station (where Marconi sent the first trans-Atlantic radio transmission), and Nauset Lighthouse.

Fancy chocolate buffet at the Langham Hotel … a very sweet birthday treat for me and mom!

Long long week getting ready for commencement, followed a nice cocktail and a good meal on the Canary Square patio
