So nice to have a little time off. Flew into Philly on Monday with Beth, and her parents picked us up. We had two days planned full of visiting different potential wedding and reception locations. Our first stop was Winterthur, in Winterthur, DE. We visited with their sales rep for 45 minutes and discussed all of the different features of the location. Beth's parents had visited a week before so they had already seen the books, the place and heard the pitch. After meeting with her for 45 minutes, we took a walk about the 1,000 acres of woodlands and gardens. A truely spectacular place. About 30 minutes into our walk, beth and i had a chance to talk about the pro's and con's of the location and our thoughts on different things. Upon meeting back up with her parents down the path, we asked them to give us 5 reasons to visit any of the other sites. We were sold. So we have date, a location, and so begins the insanity.
Tuesday i flew home to Attleboro, and began my break. Wednesday brought a nice visit to the dentist, Thursday brought jury duty, and Friday a trip up to fenway for a game with Ben and Brett. Good times. Spent saturday visiting the Fo's and then spending some time with friends over at the Nelsons, good to see Amanda, paul, dan, laura and sarah. Being on the road, and away from friends gets really lonely. So any time i can spend with friends is a blessing. Nice to see familiar faces, and share stories, and chat. So all my friends who are reading this, please, any time your thinking bout a trip, come visit us on the road. We would love it.
Well, manny just got ejected from the sox game.... must had said the magic word..... but two pitches later, same pitch, same location, it was called a ball to youk. Just a personal observation but the umpiring, behind the plate and in the field has been horrible this year. Oh well. Good to see j.d. drew having a good season. tek has some power in that bat, and dustin continues to shine as our rookie of the year. Ellsbury is going to be alot of fun to watch over his career, as is lowrie. p.s. how much of a steal has it turned out to be, picking up Sean Casey. A possible early season saver.
Ok, time to go finish packing things up, and get ready to head up to Boston and settle into the park plaza
Over and Out,
Brian

Wow, Winterthur! Really nice place. Went there once a long time ago. Traveling up to Attleboro tomorrow for the big shower on Saturday. Haven't been up since Christmas, so it will be good to see everyone!
Take care and have fun,
Aunt Debbie
