In October, we took a much needed vacation. We flew to New York City, and drove to Connecticut to visit friends: Andy (Don's classmate from grade school) and his wife Nicole. We drove together to Boston for a couple of days, and hiked the entire Freedom Trail one afternoon. Beacon Hill is full of beautiful old brick homes and the Italian restaurants were delicious! We also visited NY City for an afternoon tour and Broadway performance (The Lion King). It was Krista's first NYC visit and Don's second. The last part of the trip was driving through north-west CT to try our hand at "leaf-peeping". We were a week or so early for peak Fall foliage, but enjoyed the drive and covered bridges. Thanks for the tour, Rasmussen duo! A few photos are in the linked photo album below.

In mid-October, Sophia, our god-daughter, turned 4. We are lucky enough that she and her family (Steven, Kristy and Malachi) leave nearby, in MN. We love the time we spend with them. It reminds us how much fun it is to play...
