Memorial Day

With Nicholas at thesis completion, we were able to spend a whole day together with few worries of RISD work creeping in. He officially turned in his thesis on Tuesday, and still did a little work on Monday, but all in all it was a wonderful day.

We began the day by waking up together after going to bed at the same time--two things we haven't done in a really long time! We had eggs and cappuccinos and got ready for the day. We were meeting our friends about a mile and a half away from our apartment to watch the town Memorial Day parade. It was a cute little parade filled with local officials, little league teams, and skateboarders. That's right, skateboarding is not a crime! Hooray for small towns.

Our biggest official was Patrick Kennedy, our state representative. He told mini-Liz she was beautiful. If only he looked more like his uncle...

After the parade, we took our friends Nick and Liz up to Nicholas' independent show in Pawtucket. Then we had dinner at the Sprouts. It was lovely, until the mosquitoes came out in full force, but that allowed for some Xbox360 man-bonding. It was a wonderful day.
