We took a trip to the East Coast, first to Framingham to visit Matt's parents and brother, and then we stayed with our friends Stephen, Deb, and William in Providence for a week. We also saw our friends Danny, Ruth, and Audrey, who were visiting from California. Other than being restless on plane and car rides, it was a wonderful trip. Here are some highlights!
