Maine trip report - Day 1

M is slightly obsessed with Maine and wouldn't shut up about it, so obviously it was time to drag D there to chauffeur her around to eat lobstah. She used a jazz camp for Geo at New England Conservatory in Boston as her excuse to visit Maine. The flight to Boston was delayed 2 hours so we arrived at the airport hotel around 3 am. When we arrived, she realized that the suitcase full of clothes for her and D somehow did not make the trip. Not a great start but luckily we were 5 minutes from Target and she bought an entire new wardrobe while D and Geo slept at the hotel. 

After dropping Geo off in Boston, it was time to hit the coast! We made it to Kennebunkport and saw a lighthouse and fort along the way. Maine is full of them.

 Celebrating H's graduation

More on Williams

M and D are irrationally exuberant about sending H to the second-most expensive college in America (based on tuition). 

Here are some photos of H in Williams gear throughout the years.

Marksmen

G and H have taken up precision air rifle in their quest to bankrupt their parents.

The Graduate

H graduated from high school and we froze our butts off in 40 degree weather to attend the festivities. Geo is already talking about ditching his graduation in 3 years.

Pull-ups

Geo asked M to buy him a pull-up bar to "get gains" (whatever that means). M held an inaugural pull-up competition for the boys ($10 per pull-up, plus an extra $50 to the winner). Here are the results:

R - 10

G - 8

H - 3

Snoopy tried to participate but got stuck.
