We went to Massachusetts to visit Sweety’s mother a couple of weeks ago. I loved the place! It was cold and there were some autumn leaves still clinging around. I saw one tree that had leaves that were completely red. I had never seen such. And I ate crab cakes for breakfast! Crab! Breakfast!

The boys stayed with their grandparents and Sweety’s mother was nice enough to get us a room at a hotel. (And, I was fixing to link to it and just remembered that she has friends that work there. I would not want for someone to see that backlink and have her show up here.) The place had two giant waterslides and I did not bring a swimsuit because I didn’t even know where we were staying. I was just along for the ride.

Guess what? The cough that has kept me from sleeping in the same room with Sweety since mid-August? It diminished enough that I was not an annoyance to Sweety and we were able to sleep in the same room!

And we have ever since we got back! (Um, except for that one night when I gave him a really bad titty-twister because he tried to bearhug me after he’d farted and the titty-twister hurt so bad that he broke things. That night I plotted revenge slept on the couch. With one eye open. I’ll have to video blog that little story because it’s too much to type but is really worth hearing.)

Sweety and I did lots of sightseeing during the day and then met up with everyone else for supper. One of the places we went to was Pilgrim Monument. We climbed to the top. Well, Sweety climbed and I kind of huffed and puffed. At one point I got a little ahead of Sweety and thought I’d scare him. It didn’t work and he asked me to crouch back down so he could take a photo. I obliged but didn’t realize that he was taking a video instead.

Don’t you just LOVE that look on my face at the end?

And here I am on the way down from the top of the tower. I was very, very, very happy to be climbing down the stairs instead of up them.

I was pretending to be a robot soldier.

We discovered that Sweety could actually take the ramps down in two hops.

When the monument was being built, I doubt they expected it to be used in such a manner.

And if all of that wasn’t enough for you – you can see all the photos here.
