from virtual to real friend

Nine years ago I "virtually" met Jenna when she was getting ready to travel to China to meet her son. I remember the excitement of putting together a care package that she carried and hand delivered to Daniel for us. All these years we've maintained touch, and today I finally got to meet her. She and her two youngest drove down from NH to spend the day with us at Boston Common and the Legoland Discovery Center. From conversation to Legos galore to free parking to ice cream in the common, everything was awesome! 

Emmet says Everything is Awesome!

"Hey Mommy, look! We climbed that!"

Mini Boston...

"Mommy, picture this one for Daniel, he would like it!"

As we were driving down the street looking for Legoland Discovery Center we knew when we were close...

Totally geeked out in this miniland!
