A Weekend of Memories!

Last Thursday night, Kyle and I packed our bags and headed for the Long Beach Airport for our red-eye flight to Boston. After getting to school at 6:45am (couldn't sleep), having a student council meeting at 7:30, teaching all day, and then rushing home so Kyle could take me to my Master's class; when they picked me up at 6:30pm, I was ready for bed. Getting through LB airport wasn't so bad, other than it's small and most of it is outdoors. It looks like several old modulars joined by cement walkways. Not very exciting.

We were heading to Reading, MA to visit my mom and grandparents, and of course to see the Princeton v. Harvard game. We arrived early Friday morning and my Mom and Papa picked us up. It was so much nicer than waiting an hour and a half for the bus, so we were grateful they were willing to come get us. Pulling up to my grandparents house brought back so many memories. The street they live on is beautiful and so is the house they have been living in for 45 years. The house was quiet when we arrived, it was still early, and Kyle, Mom, Papa, and I sat around the living room enjoying each others company till the other awoke. After saying hello to everyone, Kyle and I decided to take a nap for a couple of hours before we were going to take the train back into Boston to take a tour of the office my Mom works at.




After waking up from our nap, we headed into Boston. It was fun to take the train out there and be able to picture Mom heading to work everyday. If you love to people watch, there sure are some interesting people who ride the train. We arrived in Boston and headed towards Mom's office. Her building is right above a beautiful mall, I don't even know how she controls the temptation. I'd be down there every lunch time! The office was beautiful!!! We could see why she loved working there. Kyle especially enjoyed the snack closet in the kitchen.

On Saturday, Papa, Nana, Mom, Kyle and I packed in the car and headed towards Cambridge, where Harvard is located. We met up with my in-laws, some of our OC friends who flew out for the game, and other football players parents. Several of us wore Brendan's football jersey with his number during the game (they sell them at the PU store). I would give a recap of the game, but unfortunately we lost. It was sad, as we fought hard during the first half, but after going through 3 quarterbacks, we were unable to hold Harvard. We lost 27-10. Here are some pictures of the game:





On Sunday Kyle and I headed to church with Mom and Papa. After church Nana made us a delicious lunch and we were back in the car headed for the airport. Kyle and I had such a wonderful time, we can't wait to be there for Christmas!
