Vacation

Back from a week in Groton Connecticut with daughters Kimberly and Emilee, and Debbie. We had a nice time the first few days with Emilee going to the aquarium for pictures with sea lions, attending a birthday party of one of Kim’s friend’s two-year-old son, eating at various restaurants, and visiting my grandparents old summer home in Charlestown RI. We had some nice weather (I even managed to get a sunburn at the beach). Then Emilee went back to DC and Kimberly went to work, and Debbie and I started painting the condo! I would say we finished slightly under half of it in our 3 days of heavy work on it. We left on Saturday after meeting Kimberly for lunch at Five Guys (burgers and fries), and a last visit to the sea lions (3 pups that Kimberly was working with this week). We had a quick flight from Boston to CDG. The only bad thing about it is the flight is too short to get more than just a few hours of sleep (you leave at 8pm and arrive at 8am, and loose 6 hours of sleep time). It would be better to leave in the morning and arrive in the evening (I think). Well, we are back now and preparing to move into our apartment in the Marais tomorrow.
