One of the best parts of having an out-of-town guest (other than being able to spend lots of time with a dear friend, of course), is visiting local attractions that have previously gone unnoticed. Kristin, the girls and I traveled today up to Massachusetts to stroll through the picturesque towns, and I loved seeing everything through Kristin’s enthusiastic eyes. I’ve driven past Stockbridge, MA several times in the past, but never actually got out of the car. It was such a treat to explore the shops and historical sites and simply appreciate the scenery that normally zooms by my car window in a blur.
The girls were happy to be out in the beautiful weather and to be adored by new people. At one point, I had a crowd of three older ladies huddled around the stroller while Susie flashed impish smile after impish smile.
Becky thought the attention paid to her sister was rather underwhelming.
I can’t thank Kristin enough for encouraging us to cherish this beautiful corner of the country!
Oh my goodness, I haven’t been to the blog in almost 2 weeks. The girls have gotten so much cutier, nature is beautiful and what a joy it was to see Kristen! Please give her my love! I’m sure you 2 are having a blast!!! 🙂
If I’m not mistaken it looks like fall has arrived in New England.
Thanks Kristin, for showing us through Emily new places to see in New England! Have a safe journey back out West, and have a wonderfully healthy baby.
