Nick was very sneaky and told Sharyn that she needed to get off work early on Friday. They flew to Boston and went to dinner. What a surprise at dinner when my mom and dad were there too. Nick knew mom and dad were coming, but Sharyn didn't know. Stay tuned for the next surprise!!!
I decided to join mom and dad in Massachusetts too. Nick had no idea. I saw Sharyn first but Nick got a hug too.
This is Sharyn with her mom and dad. They are such nice people. Nick is marring into an AWESOME family!


Sharyn showed us around her beautiful hometown. She grew up just north of Boston and her family still lives there. It is the cutest little town. They have a gorgeous harbor (pronounced habah) with a drawbridge and nice downtown area to walk around. We walked around all afternoon and went back to our haunted hotel room to get ready for a barbecue at Sharyn's parents house.

When we got back to Sharyn's parents house there was a surprise Bridal Shower for Sharyn. Nick, my parents and I were aware that it was happening. I can't wait to see the picture Sharyn's dad got of her waling in the door.

This is Sharyn's Family. They are so nice. Some of Sharyn's other high school friends were there too. Connie is so nice and makes the best food. I swear, I'm moving to her house! Karen lives in DC, close to Nick and Sharyn, but they also grew up in the same little town. Karen is the life of the party! She and Kate are going to have to duke it out for who is top dog!
The shower was fantastic. Nick and Sharyn flew back to DC on Sunday afternoon. We once again had Sharyn show us the sights of downtown Boston. I really liked Boston. The city itself is very diverse and has so much history!
Nick and Sharyn got to take a water taxi from our hotel to the airport. Mom took about a hundred pics of the water taxi leaving. It's like stop motion animation. Sorry mom! She took this pic of me and dad from the dock at the hotel.
I wish Nick, Sharyn and her family lived closer. I am still not a fan of flying. The trip was sooooo long, but it was definately worth the fear and time!
