So about a month ago now Ian, Emma, and I made our way up the East Coast once again. We stopped in Havertown, Pennsylvania to celebrate my sister Emily's birthday. Then hit the road again and drove to West Hartford, CT. We always have such a great time with Sally, Seth, Will and Cate that I forget to take pictures... (but mostly because it is just pure madness the entire time). It was cold and rainy, much different than the weather we experience in DC, so it was actually really nice. We went to their amazing library again and also went to an indoor playscape. I had never been to a playscape before, these things are insane. Ian and Emma loved it though (after Ian realized that he wasn't going to fall through the tiny holes in the rope several feet above the ground). Ian and Emma had a sleep over with Will and Cate while I continued my trek to Beverly Farms, Massachusetts for Laurie's wedding. Her wedding was gorgeous, right on the water and was wonderfully New England. It made me miss the Vineyard terribly! The wedding was also right down the street from Gordon College where I went to school so it was very nostalgic being there.

Before heading back home with Ian and Emma, Sally and I took the boys for munchkins and then stopped by Elizabeth Gardens which is right down the street from their home. The roses were gorgeous!
