Memorial Day Weekend

We headed up to Massachusetts for the long holiday weekend to see my family and our friends that live in the area. We spent 2 nights with my family and then headed to the Boston area to visit our good friends, Aimee and TJ. We met Aimee and TJ while living in Copenhagen (they are American, although Aimee could pass for a Dane with her blonde hair!) four years ago and have been the best of friends ever since. We had a great weekend walking around Boston, golfing (Brad and TJ of course) and lots of chatting and shopping (Aimee and I)!
Here we all are enjoying Quincy Market Square.

The Julian's on the Charles (trying to look as good as the Pfelgers!)

TJ, myself and Brad at Boston Common.

On Sunday, the four of us headed from Boston to Providence, RI to have brunch with our other great friends, Jen and David, their 3 year old son (soon to be 4) Alexander and their basset hound Goliath. We met Jen and David when we were living in Charlotte, NC 6 years ago. They lived in the apartment above us and we were very suspicious of them for quite some time. We thought Jen was a high class call girl (always around during the day time, drove a very nice BMW, sporting designer shoes and matching bags, etc.) and David was a British CIA agent (would show up for 2 weeks every few months and would wear mysterious glasses and driving gloves). Brad and I ended up having a big party in our apartment one Saturday night and invited our "mystery" neighbors. After several rum and cokes, Brad told them about our theory and we laugh about it to this day. Jen is definitely not a call girl (she was job hunting at the time) and although David says he is not a CIA agent, I think it's debatable!!!!

TJ reverting to childhood again, started a whiffle ball game in Jen and David's enormous front yard. A good time was had by all, expecially Alexander.

How can you resist those curls and that smile?!

After a fabulous brunch and a great game of whiffle ball, the boys headed to the golf course and the ladies (along with Batman) headed to the Providence Mall. Here is Batman wide awake and ready for anything.

Batman fell asleep on the car ride over to the mall and slept the entire shopping trip while being pushed around in his "charriot." Every super hero needs his rest!
