More photos to come...
Hello all,
I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog in a bit. Hope that everyone is wonderful, and in particular that the new Coloradians are settling in well. We have had a busy time of it since last post. We had a wonderful trip out west to visit friends and family in San Francisco. We spent our fist few days with Ruairi's cousin Redmond and his wife and two girls. They were great hosts. After that we headed into San Francisco proper and stayed with a friend of mine from college. Major highlights included a tandem bike trip over the golden gate, a scenic overlook of the city, and great food and company. We spent one romantic night on our own out in Napa before heading to Las Vegas for three more days of fun with friends from New Haven, who are living there. A good gathering of 12 or so of us made the trip and filled every bed, couch, and floor in the house. We had a great hike in Red Rocks Canyon, and I came out $250 dollars up on my poker game with the locals and tourists. Very pleased with myself... any way, after that it was home and back to school and work for a while before our next getaway. For Easter we went to the visit the Collins clan courtesy of Maurice and Darina. It was Ruairi's brother's 30th, father's 60th, and grandmother's 90th so much celebrating was in order. All the Collins and their significant others were attendence for the first time in a long time. We had a great time visiting and catching up with everyone. On the saturday night it was Patrick's birthday and he and Mary threw a big party at the cottage. Almost all of Ruairi's friends were there too, so it was a most convenient way of seeing them all at once. I think Ruairi got to do most of the "home stuff" he's been craving- pints in the pub, a soccer match, visiting family and friends... .Anyway, we had a wonderful time:) So, it has been a busy and exciting month for the Boston Collinses. Love to all:)
