Life has been so busy in the Schwartz household that June blogging got sidetracked. In June, we had a great family trip (me,Jay,Eva,Nana) to Rhode Island! It was Jay's first time to visit the Northeast and for Eva as well. We stayed in my Aunt's friend's house which was only a few minutes from the beach. However with it being June in RI - the water was freezing! Eva was terrified of the waves but eventually we got her into the water but only a few minutes b/c she started to shiver.
Jay found his new favorite food - steamas (steamers which are basically A clam). We went and looked at out old house in Kingston where I spent three months every summer for about 15 years. We went to Narragansatt and saw the pier and walked along the wall (ate a Del's). My cousin Susan took Jay and I out one night to Newport, RI. My other cousin ,Lauren, flew in from Prince Edward Island. We even had a mini family reunion involving the lobster people vs the steak people - its a long standing tradition.
As soon as we got home to Memphis, Jay and I flew out the very next day to MN where we went to our friend's - Bo and Kate's - Wedding. It was a beautiful outside wedding in Stillwater,MN. Kate wore an elegant ivory dress with a little bird's cage veil. The colors were yellow and gray. It was very nicely done - and so much fun. Although, everyone had to move inside b/c tornado sirens went off! There's a funny moment to remember.
We also got to see Sarah, Liz, and my nephew Milo! He was as cute as ever and getting so big. We all went out for a night of Ethiopian food at the Blue Nile and it was yummy. Jay and I felt like true city people taking the light rail from Sarah's condo to the airport. Imagine that - public transportation that makes sense! ha! Below is a pic of an old Sears building that Minneapolis converted into condos, restaurants, etc. A.K.A. useful things.
