The End of 2010

These photos are out of sequence, but let me see if I can make sense of them. The photo above is from New Year's Eve. A bunch of us went out to dinner then had a sleepover at Greg's brother and sister-in-law's house. Greg's and my trip to San Diego for a late Christmas (we spent December 25 with his family) and New Year's was canceled due to the first blizzard Boston's had in the last five years. We were really bummed, but made the best of things here.
Greg and I visited friends in Connecticut and we went to Sushi California. It was a pretty good stand-in for my favorite sushi restaurant, Sushi Deli in San Diego. Some restaurants here don't have their liquor licenses but will let you bring your own. They're BYOB restaurants. Champagne and sushi is a great combo.
Can you see that I'm laying on the bed with Billy laying on my back?
Playing in the snow the morning after the blizzard. A blizzard is a snow storm that's characterized by visibility of a quarter mile or less, winds in excess of 35 miles an hour, and lasts for at least three hours.



Check out all that snow on the cars!







In the photo below, can you see the blowing snow?
These poor leaves are doing all they can to hold up all that snow.

Nancy & Josh in Boston

My mom and brother came to visit. They've come out each November since I moved to Boston. This time Greg and I have a two-bedroom apartment; much more space than the three of us in my studio.
Plimoth Plantation is replica of a 1627 English village and native Wampanoag homesite.




Here's the English village with my mom and Josh in the lower left.
The Mayflower II

The next day, we went to Old Sturbridge Village for some more early American history.
Above, my mom has on either side of her a guy with curly light brown hair, sunglasses, dimples, and the same jacket.

Dinner with Greg's family, from left to right: Josh, Nancy, Genoa, Greg, Shaney (Greg's sister-in-law), Mark (Greg's brother), Sue (Greg's mom), and John (Greg's dad)




Babies!

Greg and I have some friends who just gave their almost-two-year old daughter twin sisters. This is Lily and Hannah. And Manny the dog.

We got to feed them!

Democratic Rally

I went to a rally for the November 2 election (don't forget to vote!) and saw the President!
James Taylor was also there - so awesome.
