We decided to forgo our usual plans of travelling to the Cape for Memorial Day weekend to stay in Boston. It was quite relaxing to be home and not have to fight the tourists to get down to Eric's parent's home. On Saturday, we travelled up to Marblehead for Connor Gyllenborg's 1st birthday! The rest of the weekend we just stuck around Charlestown and got some stuff done around the house....rearranged rooms/furniture and spent some time at the park with Hampton and with our friends the Smith's and their 6mos old daugher, Ella. The weather was gorgeous - it got into the 80s in Boston on Memorial Day. Also, HH is 10 months old as of Memorial Day!
The John Harvard Park/Playground is about a 1/2 block away from our house. Now that the weather is nice, it has become Hampton's new stomping grounds.

After we spent the day at "the beach" the Smith's came over and we did what Americans do on Memorial Day....grilled up some burgers and had some beers. Aside from the Sox getting swept in Oakland, it was a great weekend all around!
