I am BACK!
I was hoping to blog while I was on my road trip, but Internet connection issues made it hard for me to post. So here is my wrap up in pictures from my trip to Massachusetts, Maine and New York.
We celebrated my grandfathers 90th birthday with a big party - do you know anyone who is 90?
We visited the beach on Cape Cod - the water is a bit cold, but it is my FAVORITE place in the world!
We also went to Oqunguit, Maine to visit our friend, author/illustrator Matt Tavares and his family, we went for a walk along a cliff walk called Marginal Way - isn't it beautiful!
Matt also showed us his new BIG computer screen that he uses to create some of his illustrations - we also got a sneak peak of two of his new books coming out soon, can't wait to share them with you in the Rock Springs Library when they come out!
We went on a Duck Boat tour of Boston, even though I used to live in Boston, it was fun to ride around on a "duck boat" and see the city - if you ever visit Boston I definitely suggest this!
and home to some cute little ducks from a famous book (can you name the book?)
As we were driving around on the Cape we ran into this - a working water wheel in Brewseter, MA - the wheel is used to make Corn Meal, the wheel was just recently replaced and the stone to make the corn is being replaced now, so I was unable to get some freshly ground corn meal.
At the end of our trip we spent a few days in New York. This is a walkway that was built out of an old railroad bridge, it goes across the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, NY and it is over a mile long!
My daughter and I got to spend the last day of our trip in her favorite city - New York City - here is a picture of Times Square!
I also visited a BUNCH of libraries during my travels and read a lot of books while I was on my trip - stay tuned for more pictures!
I hope you are reading lots and having a great summer - comment on my blog to let me know how your summer is going!
Happy Reading!

Boston is also home to the STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Boston Bruins hockey team!
