What's new

1.  I started my summer job at the Victoria Pool, and it has been great.  The money is good, the customers are interesting, and it is outside.  It is daytime work, which is nice.  The only real downside is that it is sweltering.  The bar is under the green tent on the right-hand side of the photo, and boy can that tent trap heat. Phew!

2.  We took our annual trip to Maine during the last week of June.  We had a great time! We had 2 days of rain and 2 perfect beach days. We ate out a lot, went shopping, went to the beach, played mini-golf, and visited with my in-laws.   We also took some pictures for our updated adoption profile (more on that later). 

3. Boston!  Dave surprised me with a night in Boston at the end of our Maine trip.  We stayed in the hotel where we got engaged, ate at Vlora, and took a tour of Fenway! (The Fenway tour will get it's own post.)
