Trip #1

Well, it's that time of year again. Tonight was our first trip to this year's Big E, and my first trip ever on the opening day. I must say it was quite a bit quieter than I anticipated - pleasantly surprised!

It's amazing to see the difference in Matthew since last year's visits. If you're bored and have some time to kill, take a look back at my posts from last year....unbelievable how much he's grown and changed.

Thought I'd post a few pictures from tonight's visit. You know me....there'll be more to come from subsequent trips.

Hmmm....do I really have to share these pierogi with Mommy & Daddy?

Ahhhh.....milk.

Showing off his new Sox hat from the Massachusetts building. (Matthew, not Dennis!)

The phenomenal voice of the group, inspired by Guinness. Oh, and our priest, Father Reilly, on guitar!

We stayed for about 2.5 hours - just enough to whet our appetite for our return visits. I must say my favorite part was watching Matthew take it all in and get so excited about the things he saw. Never thought it was possible for me to like The Big E more, but seeing him having so much fun topped it all.

Can't wait to go back....

We Must Never Forget
