My parents have just left the North Shore to head back to Ohio. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with them this week…

On Monday night when they arrived, we went out to ***The 99|http://www.99restaurants.com/*** for dinner and then came home to do our Russia slideshow for my parents. That slideshow takes a while, and we didn’t get through the whole thing… but they really liked seeing the photos up on the big TV screen and hearing our commentary. We always enjoy giving the slideshow, so if you’re in the Boston area and you haven’t seen it yet, just let us know and we can give you the full narrated slideshow experience! 🙂

On Tuesday, we took a trip to Martha’s Vineyard. We drove my parents around on a tour of the island, went to ***Polly Hill Arboretum|http://www.pollyhillarboretum.org/***, ate lunch at Espresso Love Cafe (note: I found the website of the company that designed their website, but couldn’t find any links to the actual E.L. website itself!), and then relaxed back in Oak Bluffs. We went out to dinner at Slice of Life, which is run by the same folks who run ***The Sweet Life|http://www.sweetlifemv.com/***. (I had perhaps the best burger and fries that I’ve ever tasted in my life… I think that restaurant will merit its own entry.) We had a full and fun day exploring the Vineyard. You can see our photos ***here|http://gallery.prwdot.org/vineyard_20050712***.

Last night we had dinner at ***Acapulco’s|http://www.acapulcos.net/home.htm*** in Beverly, then went over to their hotel to swim at the hotel pool and look at the rest of our ***photos from Russia|http://gallery.prwdot.org/russia***.

All in all we had a wonderful time getting to see them and catch up on things, and we are looking forward to seeing them again later this year!
