Ok, busy busy. Quick synopsis of the rest of our trip. After Boston we headed to West Hartford, Connecticut to visit John (Matt's brother) and Stephanie (his wife). We spent a few days exploring West Hartford and spending time with John and Steph and baby-to-be-born in July. It was great to finally visit them and see their new home and where they have been living since August. They left the day after our wedding last year to move up there. From Hartford we took a Greyhound bus to New York City. The bus ride was actually great and easy and dropped us off about 8 blocks from our hotel which was about 1 block from Times Square. We spent 3 days in NYC seeing the sites. This was my third trip to NYC and Matt's first so it was more for him to see everything. Except we did go to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island and that was my first time going to those places. Ellis Island was pretty cool.
We have had a very tight schedule since we came back. We ventured out to Snellville to meet Ann Marie who was 8 days old at the time. I spent one evening doing some shopping for Stephanie's baby showers and Matt's birthday (which is tomorrow). Now we have a busy weekend full of birthdays, babies and cleaning!
Also, we got a puppy today!! We have been planning on getting one but waiting until after our trip was over. Now that it's over and we're back, we found just who we were looking for (pictures below). We found her online and went to the adoption day outside of Petsmart today to get her. She is an Australian Shepherd puppy (possibly a mixture though) and is about 10-12 weeks old. We named her Molly. She is already quite the handful. We left for about an hour and a half to go to dinner and put her in her crate for the first time. Came home and she was out!! She climbed out the top.. apparently we had the thing upside-down. She is scared of being outside for some reason, we are working through that, and has yet to use the potty outside. In fact, she just peed in her crate. So much for them not using the bathroom where they sleep. Although she doesn't know that she sleeps there yet but will figure that out tonight.
Anyway sorry you don't get more details on the trip and all but it would be more than you want to read, I promise. Instead you just get some pics and some pics of Molly. Enjoy!
