This last weekend the family traveled up to Boston and then Manchester, New Hampshire, for a little weekend getaway. We prevailed through some difficulties on Friday through Boston (where Daddy discovered the GPS on the Verizon phone to be quite handy, given his knack for getting himself lost), and arrived that night in Manchester, Uncle Fubbies home town. Mommy got us a great deal on our hotel through the mother of a child she drives to school on the bus. The kids enjoyed the pool and Daddy enjoyed the Red Sox / Yankees game in the weight room.
On Saturday we all enjoyed the petting zoo where we saw mountain lions, lynx's, bears, and a whole lot of goats. Eliza was timid about feeding the animals but did enjoy giving them some food (so long as they obeyed her directions) and Ella Grace particularly enjoyed the horses, remembering her riding days which will hopefully come again. Eliza did not, however, like all the mud and water left from all that rain we got as she thankfully remains a very clean-minded child. That night Daddy took the kids to the pool for more swimming and Mommy went out with Auntie Lala to see Lala's friend play her guitar at a local restaurant.
Sunday Daddy had to return to work (again using the GPS as he again got lost in Boston), and everyone else stayed with Lala to stomp around Fubies old stomping grounds.
