Monday morning left Hershey, PA and landed in Holden, MA where we had a fantastic visit with Jack's cousin Bart and his wife, Lee and their 2 sons, Dustin and John. We had a late dinner and wonderful laughs. Wish we got to see them more than just once a year. Hoping Lee joins Facebook and we can keep in touch. Boy can those Hill men talk and talk and talk.....and their stories go on forever!!
We are in Marlboro, MA getting ready to head out to meet Suzanne for lunch in Kennebunkport, Maine at Alison's Restaurant. Jack has adopted Suzanne as his sister. Suzanne was Jack's mom caretaker. We love to see her, wish she lived closer!!
After lunch we are heading to Manchester, NH to see our friends Kristin & David Barrigan for dinner.

UPDATE
Well I finally have time to update you all!!
Last Saturday, left State Line and headed to Grand Junction. Found a great Mexican Restaurant called "Tequila's" yummy....we were so tired we almost fell asleep at dinner.
Last Sunday headed to Matt & Vicki's house in Evergreen. My bestest ya ya, Ruthie, came over and we all spent the day visiting and went to the local sports bar, ate dinner and watched the Celtics beat the crap outta the Lakers!! Ruthie whisked me off and Jack stayed with Matt & Vicki.
Monday, Ruthie & I stayed in our pj's all day long!! Rented movies on the TV, "Valentine's Day" "Dear John" and "Crazy Heart".....we cried but said "its ok to cry, I'm with a ya ya".
Tuesday, we got mani's and pedi's and had dinner at a Thai restaurant!
Wednesday prepared the house for Bunco and I won!! Got to meet lots of ladies who were transplanted to Colorado from California.
Thursday am, Jack picked me up and we headed to Omaha, Nebraska to meet up with Rebecca (Jack's neice). His brother and wife flew in as well and we all had dinner together at Qdoba while watching the playoffs (went back to the hotel to see the Lakers win the series, boo!!)
Friday was the longest day ever!! We drove from Omaha, through Iowa, Illinois and into Indianapolis, Indiana. It took us 9 hours because it rained almost the whole way!! Heavy heavy rain, almost zero visibility, lightening, thunder and close to tornado warning weather. We finally got to see our friend, Dr. Sturman from California and his friend Karen. We ate at a cute little restaurant along the canal. Then it started pouring!! Lightening storm and lots of rain. I saw a funny sign at White Castle that said "join us for breakfast with a fried bologna sandwich."
Saturday morning we drove up to Fort Wayne, IN and saw our dear friend Carrie and her daughters Aimee and Laura. We had lunch and was there for almost 4 hours!! It's always so much fun to see them. But we are glad we have facebook so we don't have to wait a year to keep in touch. Then we headed to Cambridge, Ohio and drove through lots of small towns where we totally enjoyed looking at the farms and tractors and fields filled with corn and wheat. We even passed a Amish family tilling the field.
Sunday (Father's Day) headed to Hershey, PA. So we drove through Ohio, West Virginia then Pennsylvania. Took pics (which I will post later) of Hershey. Very pretty place. Spent a nice later part of the day just relaxing in our hotel room on the computer catching up and making travel plans for the rest of the week.
Tomorrow we head out to Boston to see Jack's cousin, Bart & Lee in Boston.
So that's it for now....hope you didn't fall asleep reading this!!

We are heading out!!!
Today starts our first day of traveling. A lot of people have asked if they can track us and the answer is YES!!
It's kinda fun to see where we are and how far we have gotten. Stay tuned for more information as we begin our 5th summer at The Taft Summer School in CT. Here are pictures of our summer home!! This first picture Jack took! Awesome huh??? Look at the clear glass like water.
This next one is a picture of the dorms, where we live!
This was taken from the stairs looking out. Can you say GREEN TREES????
On our return trip last year we found this great restaurant called Wood Grill Buffet in Hesperia off the 15 fwy so we are going to stop there for dinner. Don't be jealous Jennifer and Andrew!!
Then we are heading to State Line and spend the night. Jack plans on sleeping but I have other plans, I have gathered tons of change and will be turning it into cash so I can play KENO while Jack sleeps. We did this last year and I rolled into the room about the time he was getting up.....and I slept off and on all the way to Grand Junction.
So those are the plans. I'll post more (hopefully to tell you I won this ginormic jackpot).
