16 years together, 8 years married

For our anniversary this year, we hiked Mt. Greylock, the tallest mountain in Massachusetts and then stayed at the Porches Inn (North Adams, MA).

sweaty love :)

I love how it always gets short/piney towards the top

We made it!!  (3,491 ft)
(see the road?  one can simply drive if they prefer)

There is a lot of space on this summit and a gorgeous view.

Easter in Schenectady

I can't remember exactly how many years we have been doing this tradition, but it has been at least 8 years.  Eight years full of great company and Pysanky eggs.  This year was no exception.  


Car ride was only 3 hours


Kim, Dave and I made a 3-course Blue Apron extravaganza dinner Saturday.  Course 1 was so good that I forgot to take a picture of it.


We made our pysanky eggs while feeling the Bern


Here are the finished eggs. . .you can't see the details here, 
but if you come over to our house we have them displayed (wink wink)

Night before. .. Easter baskets


Church




Egg Hunt


Inside the eggs were jelly beans and coins this year.

Easter & St. Patrick's Day in Foxborough

There were 2 Foxborough festivals we attended in one day and we did them along with our Neighbor, Stephanie, and her sons Maddox & Xavier.

Just for the record, no one made Gavin sit there. . . he went voluntarily.
