New England with Dave and Becky

While Dave and Becky were here for Jeff's graduation we took the opportunity to show them the New England area that we have called home for the last 2 1/2 years. We drove from one corner to the other and saw everything in between.

They don't allow pictures to be taken inside but here is one pulled from the website just to give you an idea of the grandeur on the inside of the mansions

We had a great time and were so happy that Dave and Becky were able to come out and visit and more importantly able to be with us for Jeff's graduation!
