The Cawoods: A little bit of this and a lot of THAT

Sit down and grab a cup of coffee b/c this post is long.... We have been so BUSY lately! I finally have some down time to take the time to post. I am writing this from my hotel room in Memphis. I am not sure I remember what my own house looks like anymore. I am burning up the air and luckily for me; my hubby, Helen, and Nick joined me for a trip to Boston last week. I guess that is the good thing about having some areas in my territory that people like to visit. We planned our trips together and had a great few days. Unfortunately I couldn't get anyone to travel with me on this trip to Memphis, then to Nashville, a stop for the weekend in Knoxville, and then home to SC. hmmm I wonder why??? Oh and with the gas shortage I'll be lucky to get home! I have done this for 9 years... (I am not complaining) I love my job, love the folks I work with, and love my hubby for being such a great "house husband" (Drew's name for himself) while I am gone. So here goes....

Can you believe he let me go back? Last weekend I missed the Clemson game and waited for my house husband to get off work and then we drove like hell to make it just in time for the Carolina /UAB game. I was good and didn't disappear this time. I did get a little talking to about how when we go to a football game we watch football, not play on our Iphones. Oh well... what better way to catch up with friends then texting while at a football game. I thought it was a good use of my time. The house husband did not...

Our tickets are with Tracy and Joel Sosebee. Drew's BFF

Do I look exhausted... I think so!

NEXT stop- last week BOSTON!

While I worked Drew, Helen, and Nick took a tour of the Garden.

and then the Sam Adams Brewery...

One night we went to the SOX game. So fun!

Drew got us FABULOUS tickets in the club seating area

we walked over to the GREEN MONSTER to see what it was all about. COLD is what it was.

The Bleacher bar before the game. This is the one we discovered on our last trip to Boston. It is on the field. So cool!

Big Poppy or as I call him Big Daddy! He was the one player Helen and I would recognize.

Dinner in the North End. There were tons of pics of celebs with this waiter on the walls. We thought he might enjoy a pic with the Cawoods. Not your typical celebs but that is okay b/c we still think we are cool.

We had to take Helen and Nick to experience my favorite.. Mike's pastries. They couldn't believe it! ummm good!

Drew and Nick pushed through the crowd to get up front. Nick couldn't wait to get himself a treat!

After we headed back to our hotel and ate pastries in the lobby. We were the only ones in the lobby.. it was late. I am sure we looked hilarious. Helen and I digging into a lobster claw and cannoli.

The first morning we were there. I was working and my husband was out taking pictures of this...

Drew and his girlfriend.

We went to the top of the Prudential Center to see the city. I have ADD and that is why I am taking pics and not listening and learning about the history of the city.
