we made it

Well, I don't know why we haven't written since the 5th! We have not told you of, according to Ani, "the best day of my life," which was a day spent at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio, courtesy of the famed Uncle Jon. Cedar Point is the biggest roller coaster park in the world, I think, with 17 or so different, horrific roller coasters. Everyone sampled many more than me (Laura) but I don't have to do what I don't want to. I'm 45 and am allowed to say no thanks, and I did. Ani was a thrill ride animal and Tim became one over the course of the day. All the grandiose nature we have shown them coming across the great west and Cedar Point is the highlight. I still like the Grand Tetons best.

We had a lovely visit with my parents and brother and sister-in-law in MA and CT and hung out in my parents' amazing new digs.

We are in the Boston area, made it to Fenway Park last night for Tim's dream come true, except that the Red Sox lost. He loved it anyway, waving his big foam #1 finger around. If you ask me about baseball games, I say they are long. That's about it. Someone else will have to write something exciting about it, and later we'll get some pictures up.

I have lost all track of my real life, which I suppose might be the sign of a good vacation. I can't remember what I spent every day stressing out about, though I'm sure it will come right back once I get home. I thrill at finding coin laundry, eating a salad, getting into a pool or lake that can actually accommodate a few strokes back and forth. Really important stuff, I know.

We are here in Boston for a few days of whirlwind visits, then up to Maine where the pond is definitely perfect for long swims. It's hot and that will be nice.
Ciao for now. Pictures later.
