Newport Pictures
Topic: Family and Friends
Here are the pictures from my trip to Newport with the boys last week. They had a great time playing with their cousins. Here are a couple choice Kai quotes from the trip:
- On our first day there my sister asked him, when I wasn’t around, what he wanted to do in Newport: “Well, I don’t really have a lot of options - I have to do whatever my dad what’s to do.” That’s me, the tyrannical father.
- After a long session of dancing (see the video below): “Daddy, I want to go home now. I’m really tired of dancing, but the music is still playing, and I can’t stop.”
Maria was in Japan for a conference while we were in Newport. She looked at the apartment I wrote about a few weeks ago, and she liked it. She’s checked on some other options as well, and so far this place seems to have the best combination of price, amenities, and location. The only downside is that it’s really small, but anything bigger that we could afford would require a long commute from the suburbs, and Maria doesn’t want to do that (she’ll be working long hours, and if she had a long commute, she’d never see the boys during the week).
Maria’s taking the boys back to Newport in a couple days, and they’ll stay there until the end of the month. I’ll stay in Philly and put a new tile floor in the bathroom (we only have one full bathroom, so this will be a good time to do it).
