Boston Bound

My parents came up the first weekend in September for a little visit. We showed them some of our favorites in Buffalo. We went to Palmyra and Dave and I were able to go to the temple. It was our first time in almost a year so it was really nice. We toured around the church sites and finished the day in Rochester at a tasty pizza joint. Dave studied on Saturday so I took my parents to a little town called East Aurora. They have quaint old homes there and fun shops to go in. Fisher-Price headquarters are located there. They have a fun toy store that has discounted prices! Addison is already gathering her Christmas pile:) That night we were privileged enough to go to the National Buffalo Wild Wing Festival! It was a lot of fun. You were able to buy tickets and then go around and trade them in for different wings. They had a TON of flavors. Dave and my dad gave up early and went and ate pizza. My favorite were the honey mustard ones. We sat in the stands and watched on the big screen the food eating contests. It was sick! It was an event to remember. Dave had to study...again on Monday. I took my parents to Canada. We took a picnic and enjoyed site seeing. It took us about two hours to get back across the border!!! It was terrible. It was labor day so they were being very thorough to say the least. Dave and I snuck out on a date that evening. I don't mind leaving Addison, but I hate that I think about her the whole time! The next day my parents, Addison and I left for Boston. It was Jonathan's big 30th birthday! I had never been and Dave had of course a lot of studying. We got about two hours on the road and Dave called to tell us we forgot all of Addison's things in her room. WOW! Thank goodness for Sam's Club (yes I still shop there). It was an amazing town to tour. We made our way to the beach at Cape Cod. It was beautiful! Addison and Ella had a great time together again of course. Ella is the best biggest cousin!
