Spring break (married style)

No beaches and bikini's for us this spring break. Neil and I visited his family in New England this Easter (I know, I'm a little behind). We had a wonderful visit with his parents, grandmother's & extended family members who I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. It was a trip that was far overdue (and lets just say they we've been put on notice by Grandma Rica...great grand-baby NOW!).

The weather was brutal. We are in SO much trouble when we move back to the east coast. It was in the low 40's with bitterly cold & heavy winds and we were wrapped up in winter coats, scarfs, gloves, hats & ear protection. All the locals were looking at us like we were from another planet! Which we are, considering where we live now.

Neil and I took a hike with his Aunt Linda & Uncle Dick up Holyoke Mountain. It's only about 940 feet above sea level, however getting up there was a long hike up a fairly steep road. Parts were covered with ice and snow (we saw snow!), but we all made it up without falling on our butts. The views from the top were beautiful! It was worth the trip, however I was paying for it the next morning.





We had such a wonderful time with family. Thanks to everyone for the great visit & we can't wait to see you again.
