Week 41: 30th high school reunion and family visit

(11-17th June)
I'm writing this nearly 2 months after the actual event simply to chronicle the journey. Alex and I had an uneventful trip to Boston during which I begrudgingly wore my compression sleeve. We had 2 nights at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel, right across the street from Faneuil Hall. We wandered the market and walked around the North End. It was in this Italian neighbourhood that I got the only decent coffee I had the whole trip. Annie came in from Chicago with her girls, ages 10 and 12, and stayed in the room next door for a night. Alex and I were quite jet lagged but had a great time nonetheless.

My Andover 30th reunion was amazing. It was great to be on campus and see how it's developed. I even went to the Peabody Archeology Museum for the first time ever, wrangling a golf cart ride with Julie and her husband, Jack. I hung out with Lisa, Annie, Cren, Tess and Julie for the most part and got to catch up with Celia, Perry, Betsy, Charlie and Paul. It felt so great to touch base with these people at this point in time.

Alex enjoyed his time on campus as well as time with my mother, sister and nephew. We also saw Aunt Claire and Uncle George, my friend from Kindy, Dawn, and her daughter Carly, and Maegan. Again, it was just nice to be in the fold on family and old friends.
