Weekend with the Wolfs

Wow, the month of June has been jam-packed for us! Price and I have been on the run for the past few weeks, mainly caught up in the move to Charlestown, but we have had some fun along the way. One highlight was Jay and Erin's visit! They were troopers to put up with our transitory living quarters and sparse walls inWaltham. They also helped us move some stuff over to the new apartment. Erin is great in the kitchen and helped me figure out where to put the ever-important juice glasses, pots and pans, and mixing bowls. Thanks Ern! Jay put his thinking cap on and figured out how to maximize the baker's rack we have in our pantry. I don't think it would have worked without an extra set of hands!

Okay, okay, we didn't just work in the apartment all weekend. Friday's festivities began with egg salad and BLTs at the Warren Tavern, followed by a tour of the Bunker Hill Monument that just reopened on June 14. We climbed all 294 steps to the top, or rather, 3 of us climbed and 1, being Jay, ran! That was insane! Erin got some beautiful pictures from the top.




After Price and Jay competed in the First Annual Urban Bocce Tournament, we went out for 'ritas at The Border Cafe. The 'ritas go down like water, he he, and the food is delicious. We had some good laughs at dinner, especially after 3 'ritas apiece and the enchilada that ended up in Bev's lap! Good times!

Saturday was another pretty day, so we headed to Salem, MA to see the House of Seven Gables and the Witch Museum. I had forgotten how fun the tour is at the Seven Gables. There is a hidden staircase that is so teeny, we all wondered if Price would fit :) Afterward, we went to Salem Beer Works for Watermelon Ales. Jay liked the sound of that.



We had a great time with Erin and Jay, as always!! Can't wait for our next visit!

House of Seven Gables. Hmmhhh....As it were, Jenne is not a big fan of Hawthorne. Something about overindulging with commas. Did you guys brings any commas back with you?

No, but I have been inspired to start dressing like a Puritan. I've got some wicked black and white shoes now to go with a cape (specially tailored) that I picked up at the Witch Museum.

Maybe next time all us kids are up there, we'll have to reenact the old picture in front of the well! Wasn't that at Seven Gables? Don't worry, I'll find you guys some rockin' tube socks for the pic and I won't brush my hair for a week...
