Rob and I (along with the four-legged members of our family) traveled to far away Springfield, Illinois for the weekend a while back. It was just a short trip, but so nice to get away at the same time. We decided Springfield is kind of stuck in some place between it's past filled with Abraham Lincoln stories and it's present of nowhere-Illinois. All in all, a good time was had visiting the new (and slightly Disney-esque) Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum, Lincoln grave sight, Old Springfield and Bennigans.
Some new pictures of the Boo & Budd -
I think they look more innocent than they really are. And in case any of you were thinking about getting a he-dog - don't!!! Buddy had his own "male problem" this weekend - and now he's wearing a cone...
On another note, last weekend we were lucky enough to go out to the Boston area for Rob's friend Ryan's wedding. Rob & Ryan knew each other from their time in Florida (oh the Florida winters!) and we flew out there for Ryan & Andrea's wedding. Ryan was in our wedding and we loved Andrea immediately, so it was great to be able to be there for their awesome day. A good time was had by all and we even got to see a little bit of Boston at the same time.
The grave of a great patriot & namesake of great beer as well!
Ryan & Andrea!
Notice - in this picture Pepe looks very similar to the last picture we posted....
