Good to be back after a long drive home from Boston at the tail end of a great weekend. Friday after work it was around the horn to Newark Liberty Airport by way of downtown Philadelphia. The waters parted and everything went smoothly; I collected Jenelle and we blazed through New York and north through Connecticut in the rain. In New Rochelle (or thereabouts) Anthony called and wondered about a jog north to Bradley Airport in Hartford - my MAP stomping grounds - so we picked up he and Elisabeta there and then went to Mystic.
Saturday was wedding day: continental breakfast, wandering around Mystic, ceremony, driving tour through Groton Long Point past the Atlantic Drive house where I lived for a few months, reception at Shennecossett Yacht Club on the Thames, and after party at Margaritas in Mystic.
Sunday was a day for Jenelle and I; we brunched with everybody in Mystic before departing from Providence. Providence is one of those cities that you might not get to unless you make a point to, so we made a point and walked the river and downtown areas and drove up to Brown and RISD. It's amazing to see where the city was and where they are now with respect to the treatment of the rivers that run through town. From downtown we had to go straight to the airport for Jenelle's departure... back to Michigan and the last few days of her first year in the classroom.
Sunday evening and this morning were spent in Boston for me, first in the North End with Anthony and Elisabeta going to dinner and getting a great canoli before heading to a house party in Cambridge and then down to Karyn and Rob's for the evening. Today Kyle joined us for more wandering, this time all day in Cambridge before I had to head south.
