As I mentioned recently, I FINALLY booked my flight to Boston after a lot of back and forth over my whereabouts in the days leading up to the trip. It was stressing me out a little bit since I don’t normally leave booking my flights home until so late, but most importantly we have some very special guests making the trip to Beantown and I was starting to worry about not actually getting there (not really, but was still stressing nonetheless).

Anyway, P’s parents have agreed that it was high time for them to pay a visit to both their family in the U.S. and mine! They have never flown further than Munich before and this time they’re flying from London to Miami then up to Boston. It will be quite the adventure.

I’m so excited to finally have the opportunity to show my future in-laws where I come from and have them meet the people I love most. Every time I think about it I get a little bit more excited about it. But, I think I’ve mentioned all this before. 😉

So far we’ve got a few things planned while we’re in town. Most importantly (or at least I think its most important), I’m going dress shopping with both the Moms. We’re also going to check out a Red Sox game, go on a Boston Harbor cruise (weather permitting), and also give them a chance to check out the place P and I are getting hitched (the Museum of Science, in case anyone’s forgotten). Plus, P & I will hopefully tackle some of the other wedding to-dos while we’re over.

Since most trips home are exceptionally hectic, we’re also taking them out to one of my most favorite spots in the world, Martha’s Vineyard for a week of R&R after they make the rounds in Boston. We rented a cute cottage right on Circuit Ave in Oak Bluffs for the first week of June. I’m dreaming of the salty air and the pasta from Jimmy Seas already.
