We’ve been to Boston many time, but it is fitting that we were in Boston this week as we celebrated our country’s birthday. After all, it was the scene of so many events of the revolutionary era—and home to so many of the main players. But this trip was a bit different.

It was a quick visit—not even 24 hours but we packed in a lot of fun. Friday night our kids joined us for a simple taco dinner (including Joe's delicious guacamole), then we played Blockbuster, a game where you compete to discover who knows … [Read more...]
