Note the use of the conch in this planter. So clever.
The beach at Short Sands like I have never seen it before: moody and churning.

Maine eye candy
On a rainy day in Maine the light is so diffused that the flowers jump out at you.
Note the use of the conch in this planter. So clever.

Especially for Larry.
Where did the time go?
Okay, this is a little better Larry.
Still smilin' after 10 days with the Burlingtons. Thank you Anna!
Goodbye Rick, Judy and Gram.
Next stop: Rob's childhood home in Maplewood, New Jersey. The kids LOVED seeing Rob's house at 52 Curtis Place.
A real Maplewood firetruck.

It was there that we encountered our first steamy-hot weather of the whole vacation. Sean Mullen was our host for a night at St. Mark's. I loved seeing Philadelphia by foot and learning all about St. Mark's parish. Thank you for sharing your home, your city and your meatballs with us Sean.
Visiting Rittenhouse Square gave us a chance to feel the breeze and find some cool animals.
The square was packed with locals, handsome men and cute babies. See below.
We trekked over to the new Comcast building in the morning. Check out the following photo of the lobby. See the cool wall with 2 pictures on it?
This is the same wall. It turns out that most of the wall is a screen and a series of short entertaining projection movies is running constantly on the wall. We sat and watched that for a long time. Super. duper. ultra. amazingly. cool. no wonder cable is so expensive.

Journey to Maine: Part 6
This Maine vacation was the funnest and most restful I have had in years. Look how Anna hoists my baby! I love this photo.
Did I mention that we ate a lot of corn?
Clean cousins. 
I have always loved the Davis porch. Here Connor, CC, Esther and Rebecca gather.
Flowers at the cottage on Vera's Way.
The boys play in the back yard.
Grampy steals a golden moment with grandchild #4.
Jen Remick and Jen Hague in the same golden light.
Pete, Hannah and Mason Wiese came for a visit. Here, Hannah holds CC.
Mason, outside our cottage.
What a dreamy kid!
Pete and Hannah, near the ocean.
Short sands on a great (packed) beach day.
The Wieses say goodbye!
After a good project. . .
Megan and Little Mama, a.k.a. sisters.
The view from our front porch. . .
