genghis khan was drinking sarsparilla at the kremlin (or vacation, part one)

Ok, you think the title of this blog post doesn't make sense? Well, you try playing a homemade version of Who What Where and drawing that sucker. Maybe you'd have better luck with something like "Tiny Tim objects to Sheeps Head Bay", perhaps; or how about "Tinkerbell convinces his uncle to vote Libertarian in Rome"? These and other insane antics pretty much sum up how I spent my vacation in New England - about 90% of my time was spent in riotous laughter with my parents, siblings, cousins and even a couple of friends. How about some pictures?

I got to see my Dad's big band have a concert...

There was a bear about 50 yards away from the deck at my folks' house...

I spent some fun hours with my dear old friend Chris and my dear new friend Nicole...

I got to see my super-cute brother and sister...

I explained to this handsome fella (my cousin A's husband, M, and the soon-to-be-godfather of Bertha) the ins and outs of the table numbering system at our cousin's wedding...

You see, we aren't table #33 out of 34...

...we are table Jason Varitek. Wonder from whom I inherited that hand gesture?

Oh. From my Gram.


(part two to come another day)

(Oh, and thanks, A, for the pictures...)
