Bruins Stanley Cup Parade!

We joined over 1.5 million (some are saying 2 million) Bruins fans in Boston to cheer on the B’s and to thank them for bringing the Cup to Boston. We caught up with the parade route near its end in Copley Square right by our church.  It was super exciting and great to see all the players up close.

South End Garden Tour

We noticed signs for the South End Garden Tour around the neighborhood and decided we were going this year.  It was great that Gary’s mom was in town and the four of us enjoyed a beautiful day looking at all the gardens.  The tour gave self-guided access to private or tucked away gardens throughout our neighborhood.  There are some very pretty places that people have created in their tiny spaces.  We really enjoyed it.  And we loved that Daniel joined us afterwards for lunch!

USA v Spain Soccer Match

We rented a ZipCar and headed down to Foxboro to watch the World Champion Spanish team play the USA soccer team.  It was a friendly and, as the Gold Cup starts in a few days, it became apparent the USA Powers That Be decided to use the opportunity to throw the USA younguns in to the big dogs and see who could play the big boys.  And the answer was… none of them.  The first half was pathetic.  Luckily for the record attending crowd (largest crowd in New England for a soccer match) they subbed in Clint Dempsey and Bradley and all the old seasoned pros at the half.  It was fun seeing Tim Howard and Dempsey and Altidore and Guch and the Spanish team though.  (Donovan was a no show.)  The game itself was a 4-0 rout.  But we enjoyed seeing a world class soccer players playing at Gillette.  Our seats were amazing!  Row 2 – right next to Taylor Twellmen and Alexi Lalas!  The American Outlaws section was also right next to us – and they are lots of fun!

Memorial Day Weekend Roofdeck Work

For Memorial Day Weekend we cleaned up our roofdeck.  For obvious reasons, even after repotting all the plants, it didn’t take too long, so we had some time to enjoy it.  Manhattan gets to hang out there with us because he obeys commands (oddly enough for a cat) and he loves lounging on the deck.  He isn’t allowed past the iron fence, so he reaches his neck out to sniff past it or rest his chin on it.  He is super good, even when birds hang out there just past the fence and bath in the puddles on the roof.  Good cat!
