We spent the weekend doing a quick little tour of Boston and some small towns north of the city. It was a gorgeous weekend and so fun to see genuine New England homes and towns!

We just got back from a week-long trip to the western slope of the Rockies in Colorado – what a great time of year to be there! We visited friends and some family (my brother, his wife and 2 kids) and did some sightseeing. We traveled around Cimarron, Montrose, Ouray, Delta, and the Grand Mesa. […]
