Monkey and Willy

In honor of our guest blogger, here is a picture of her littler Monkey snuggling up to Willy Baldwin the Poodle.

Guest Blogger - Ashley Boccia

Guest blogger for today is none other than Ashley Boccia. She's heading over to France for some Ironman watching. Sounds like she is in Boston for today's post. She must be super tired from her impressive run this morning. Crazy getting up that early.

I am at the airport. It has been a hectic morning. My taxi didn’t arrive on time so I took a ride with a stranger. I kid you not. But he was from MD, so I had to trust him. Right? Oh and he smoked cigs and was a prof fisherman with hooks in his back seat. Totally normal. Then my bag was over limit (AB warned me this would happen) so I had to carry on three bags, was late, and then just spend $125 on a new suitcase here in Boston.

I wish you and Andrea were coming with. The couples that are coming are fun, but you guys would’ve been ten times better. Andrea would be a way better travel partner than most.

I’m gonna have you blog all this for me…can you set that up for me? I’ll miss you guys. I did get up at 3:30 and run from 4-5. It felt good. It was hot. So make fun all you want.

World's Second Largest Cocktail Party

Who says things get boring when you are almost thirty? I haven't been to a party this fun since college. It was all in honor of the Florida-Georgia game yesterday. They had a flip cup tournament with 48 people (pictured above)! The Shea's even hired a DJ, DJ Jimmy O, who was worth every penny. I wonder if he is feeling the economic slowdown. Lots of booty shaking and singing along to Bon Jovi songs.

Haven't seen one of these police horses in a while.
