Trip to US!!

We took a little break and went back to the US!!!  Dave had meetings in Maryland for a few days and we had a few doctor appointments but other than that, we spent time with family as much as possible! 
First stop was my Mom and Dad's house.  We ordered steak bombs and New England chicken wings!  mmmmm...  delicious!  : )  Every day from then on was a treat of some food that we knew we would not get once back in India.  Hamburgers, hot dogs, whoopie pies, greek salads, ...  HA!!  the list could go on forever!  I'm not saying we don't enjoy Indian food but it was nice to eat some of our favorites!
Of course we brought gifts for every one!!  We had to mail off the gifts to Tami, Greg and Gabi.  They sent a picture of Gabi in her Bindi and glass bangles!  Cute huh??

We brought my Dad a new pair of Indian shoes.  They kinda look like elf shoes!  He loved them, can you tell?  : )  Tracie, my sister, wore her bindi all day!!!  She kinda looks like an Indian woman, right?   Then there was Moofy, Mom and Dad's dog, he wore the bangles on his head!!!  King Moofy!!  : )

I flew down to Maryland the first weekend to meet Dave after his meetings and to hang out with David, Natalie, Finley and Natalie's Mom!!!!  Yeah!!!! We went to the train museum and out to dinner in DC with some very good friends, The Reddens!  We had a wonderful time.  As you can see!  The visit was wayyyyyyy to short!!!!

We flew back into Boston and had a whirl wind visit for the rest of the week!!!
Dinner with Tracie and Katie at Olive Garden!  Chinese food at Michelle and Zacks new home. Beautiful home, thank you for having us!  Lasagna at my brother Donnie and Marcelle's house with his 3 daughters and their boy friends and husband.  Very yummy lasagna, Thank you Marcelle!  : )  There seems to be a pattern here!!!  FOOD!!!  HA!!
We also went to the Topsfield Fair with my niece, Jessie.  We hadn't been there in years and had a great time!  Once again, ate lots of fair food and watched the pig races!  Later that night we went out to a new Mexican place for dinner in NH with my brother, David and Diane.  Next day we drove into Boston to see the Pompeii exhibit.  It was really interesting.  Hard to believe that there was any thing to find after all these years!  After the exhibit, off to The North End for canollis!  Food again??!! YES! If you have never had a canolli from Mikes, you just have not lived!!  : )
